That was impressive but the idiot probably had to do that cause he only dropped the logs on the trailer and forgot about the ones on the truck lol.

I came across this video demostrating a mirror for your passenger side visor for blindside backing. The video is tacky but in the comments guys say they work. Looks like it would. I have had to do lots of blindside backing, I would have liked to try one of these when I was driving.

Lol....everyone's an expert when it comes to trucking. Bister is right, wagons are really unforgiving. I've drove for 25 years and those things get the best of me. I've seen guys that are really good with them but I could never wrap my head around backing them up, never mind pulling this maneuver off.

I'm in no way saying I'm an expert, but that maneuver in that video, looks pretty damn straightforward. Back up, crank truck wheels, good to go. I bet I could do it first try.
Some people are just naturally good at things, and some people just naturally sick at things. I've seen guys on their class 1 test, never backed up with a 53' trailer before, do incredibly well. I've also seen some people do incredibly NA lol. Kinda like parallel parking. When I took my road test, I'd never parallel parked before. Got it first try in only 2 moves.

Lol, look at what he's doing, it's essentially Just jackknifing it, then pulling away.
You know how easy it is to jackknife a trailer? Simple.

My mistake then Mr Expert....here I actually thought this would be pretty difficult to execute, but lo and behold, another Internet genius has simplified it for me. Thank you for your brilliant insight. Please feel free to post a video of you perfectly executing this maneuver so that I can take notes.

Minot saying that exact situation, with the high chance of death and what not it wouldn't be nerve racking, but the general idea if the maneuver is pretty simple.
