Both corners of the front bumper must be within the confines of the Stop Line. Measure from the center of the bumper. Nuts, bolts, license plate holder, hand truck brackets, etc, are not considered part of the bumper. Do not count these items in your scoring. Use only the flat surface of the bumper itself.

Scoring: 
Position score minus penalties.

Measurement: 
Both corners of the tailboard must be within the confines of the stop line. Measure from the center of the tailboard. The driver shall blow horn when ready for measurement. 

Penalties:

W= 4" wide
E = Minimum length of vehicle plus 10'.

Approach should be what ever space is needed to assure that the longest vehicle can be straight and perpendicu­lar to the stop line when the rear bumper crosses it.

Purpose: 
This problem requires the driver to stop the unit with the designated side of the designated trailer close to a des­ignated curb line, and as parallel as possible to the cur­b line, without touching the curb line. A "qualifying zone" may be used in this problem. The driver is allowed only one stop. No portion of the unit may extend over the curb line.

Scoring: 
Position score minus penalties. 

Measurements: 
Two measurements are taken at the same time from the street side edge of the curb line to the side of the unit at both the front and rear side markers, trailer corners, or other designat­ed spot. A designated spot is normally used when the curb line is shorter than the unit. The FURTHEST (lowest) of the two scores counts. The driver shall blow horn when ready for measurement. If using a "qualifying zone" the entire tailboard must be inside the zone to receive a score.

Penalties: 
50 points - failing to blow horn. 
15 points - each instance of striking a course fixture other than the curb line. 
25 points - failing to maintain a normal driving posi­tion - see page 9. 
25 points - failing to follow instructions.
50 points - stopping and moving before being measured. 
50 points - touching curb line. 
50 points - going out of bounds.

Dimensions: 
L =30' to maximum length of vehicle
D= Qualifying zone depth = 24"
W= Qualifying zone width = 48"

Purpose: 
The contestant is required to drive across the scales and stop with the designated tires in the scoring zone. The driver is allowed only one stop. 

Scoring: 
Position score minus penalties - see below. 

Measurements: 
A 30" Score zone is used with the center being a 6” wide 50 point zone and reducing both forward and back­ward scoring zones as shown in diagrams. The designated tires must be totally within the confines of the scale box to qualify. Use a standard measuring stick from the center of the rearmost passenger side axle (for single axle trailers) or from dead center between passenger side axles (for tandem axle trailers) down to the scale. The driver shall blow his horn when ready for measurement. 

Penalties: 
15 points - for each instance of striking course fixtures. 
25 points - for failing to maintain normal driving position.
25 points - for failing to follow instructions.

Purpose: 
The contestant is to negotiate the problem in the prescribed pattern without stopping, going out of bounds, or striking any course fixtures. 

Scoring: 
Basic score minus penalties. 

Penalties:
5 points - for each unauthorized stop. 
15 points - for each instance of going out of bounds or striking course fixtures. 
25 points - for failing to follow instructions. 
50 points - if contestant is unable to complete problem, or requests a barrel fixture to be moved. 

Dimensions: 
A= Approach 50' from 90 degree turn for all.

Note: if approach is from a "RIGHT TURN PROBLEM" and the first fixture is to be passed to the left add an additional 50' to 60'.

W= 50' for all classes
L = Straight truck - Overall length of unit. 
3-axle - Length of trailer only
4-axle - Length of trailer only 
5-axle - Length of trailer only 
Twins - 45'
U = U-Turn area minimum 75' wide for all

Note: If backing and reversing pattern, there must be a minimum space of one vehicle length plus 15' between the last course fixture and the course boundary. If backing and changing lanes to opposite side of last fixture there must be a minimum space of at least one and a half times the overall vehicle length between the last fixture and the course boundary.

Purpose: 
To cross over the scoring zone with the designated steering tire without stopping. 

Scoring: 
Position score minus penalties. 

Measurement: 
Score is determined by the bulge of the designated tire as it crosses over scoring marker. 

Penalties: 
15 points - for each instance of striking a course fixture other than the problem score markers. 
25 points - for failing to maintain a normal driving position. 
50 points for stopping. 
50 points for going out of bounds. 

Dimensions: 
W= 28'
A= 18'
B=3'
S= scoring zone 

Purpose: 
To cross over the scoring zone with the designated tire(s) after the vehicle passes the entry line, without stopping. 

Scoring: 
Position score minus penalties. 

Measurement: 
There are 5 scoring pads, 12" long by 6" wide. The first 6" is worth 10 points, the other 6" is worth 5 points. As a rule the out of bounds marker is placed right against either end of the pad, or omitted completely. Score is determined by the bulge of the designated tire as it crosses over the scoring marker. Once the driver enters scoring zone (usually 15 feet before the first scoring marker) they cannot stop. If the driver stops while in the zone there is no score.

Penalties: 
5 points - for each unauthorized stop outside of zone. 
5 points - for each reposition outside of zone. 
15 points - for each instance of striking a course fixture other than the scoring markers. 
25 points - for failing to maintain normal driving position. 
50 points - for stopping in the zone while going forward. 
50 points - for going out of bounds. 

Dimensions: 
S = scoring pad - 12" x 6" A1= 11'6"
E = enter line 15' A2= 12'
L = 20' to 50' A3=12'6"
W= 20' to 40' A4= 13'
T = 3' to 5' A5= 13'6"

Note: The greater the arc, the longer T must be. The approach for a forward problem should be 100' from a 90 degree turn and no less than the distance needed to get the unit straight from the previous problem. For a backing problem at least 50' from the enter line for the scoring zone plus the length of the unit.

Purpose: 
To travel forward through a set of barricades, stop and then back through an adjacent set of barricades without stopping except to make the authorized direction change. After clearing the second set, the driver must stop and then proceed forward thru the designated set to complete the problem. 

Scoring: 
Basic score minus penalties. 

Penalties: 
5 points - for each unauthorized stop. 
15 points - for each instance of going out of bounds or striking course fixture.

W= 11'6" for 102' units or 11'0" for 96' units.
L = Minimum one and a half times the overall length of the vehicle. 
S = 30'-40' Note: If L is reduced, then W must be increased.

Purpose: 
To back the designated portion of the unit into a parking space so that both ends are equally close to the curbline. Can be executed on driver side or passenger side. 

Scoring: 
Position score minus penalties. 

Measurement: 
Measure outwardly from the curb to the side of the unit at the two designated scoring zones, usually the front and rear SIDE reflectors. FURTHEST score counts. The position of the nose and/or tail with reference to the front and rear barricades is unimportant. One free pull-up while entering the problem is normal, however, while exiting the free pull-up is at the discretion of the course chairman as needed by class. The driver shall blow horn when ready for measurement. 

Penalties: 
5 points - for each additional pull-up. 
5 points - failing to blow horn for measurement. 
15 points - each instance of going out of bounds and/or striking any course fix­ture (10 for hit, 5 for reposition) 
25 points - failing to follow instructions
25 points - failing to maintain normal driving position 
50 points - striking curbline with the steering axle of a straight truck or the nose of trailer crossing over the curbline at any time.

Note: The tail may swing over at any time without penalty; however, no part of the body may be on the curbline when driver blows horn. Ignore mud flaps.

DIMENSIONS: 
W = Width of unit plus 6"
L = Length of straight truck plus 6', Length of trailer plus 4'
