Starting Prime TNT

For those who started TNT training at Prime recently, I am curious to hear how long you had to wait to be assigned a TNT trainer after you got your purple badge.

I appreciate any responses to my inquiry. Have a great day everybody!

Question about offset backing maneuver..

I am learning how to do the offset backing maneuver and had a question about 1 part of this for the CDL exam:

If I already have my tractor and trailer in the box but I am too close to a boundary line, which way do I turn the steering wheel when I pull forward to fix the issue and not take any points?

I am thinking that if I am very close to the boundary line on my driver side, that I need to turn the steering wheel 1 turn to the right and then drive forward, and straighten out the steering wheel. I would do the opposite for a scenario where I am too close to the boundary line on my passenger side.

Is my thought process here correct?

Thank you for any serious comments, I appreciate the support!

Looking for some positive encouragement or advice.

I have been in training to earn my CDL-A and have failed twice now trying to pass the maneuvers section of the exam. Both times I passed my pre-trip no problem, but pointed out on mistakes I made during the maneuvers.

Yesterday was my 2nd fail, and tomorrow I will get my 3rd attempt which will likely be my last chance. I have been doing great with both the city and interstate driving, so I just need to be able to overcome this maneuvers obstacle.

Can't help but feel anxious and defeated after failing twice now. Any success stories out there from drivers who took 3 or my tries before being able to pass?

Appreciate any positivity. Thanks.
