Left or Right handed shouldnt make a difference. Although it may ??? The instructions on turning the wheel will always be the same. Turn right to go left turn left to go right. If doing offsets or most manuevers as the trailer starts to go "into the box" then steer in the direction that the trailer is moving. I was in class with several left handers and this was NEVER even mentioned as a difficulty. Left will always be left and vice versa. For parallels its always 18-24 inches awy from the box and three feet from the top. oh and make sure your truck and the box or alley whatever are parallel just because the mirrors look like the truck is straight it may not be. Mirrors lie always get out and look....Good luck to you guys school is hard I know....
