Plus, in the PA manual, it says that "trailer" must be parallell parked, no t the full truck/trailer. Im not sure how much room total they give you, or if the truck can be in any position, but it specifically states trailer-if in a combined vehicle

i wasn't required to parallel park, instead we did serpentine....basically backing in a "S" shape and straighten it out. i would have said you wont normally be doing this manuever if ever......in school it was taught to us to show them we had control of our tractor&trailor. actual this week in Buffalo i had to do this......back in from the street, and the parking lot was right in front which curved around to the back where 3 docks were.......it was interesting.....i really suprised myself....then theres those days i cant put it in a empty hole a walmart dc. with no one within 500 ft from me.
