I just watched an Allie Knight video that was so awesome. While it wasn't specifically the 90, it was an aerial view of maneuvering a trailer as well as backing.
I learned a TON about how the truck and trailer respond to each other by watching this and I think everyone could benefit from watching this.
Search on YouTube:
I was use to backing LARGE Vehicles,and use to haul a goose neck trailer with our Belgian, the easiest thing for me to do was to NOT THINK but just hang my head out the window, and start backing. Put my hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and move it the direction I wanted the trailer to go, (easier then trying to remember if you want the trailer to go left you have to turn your wheel right) then just eased it on back making ever so slightly adjustments, also remember the closer your tandems are to YOU the tighter turning radius you have...PATIENCE and practice, and eventually you will be able to do them in your sleep
Kurt suggests:
Or maybe an app would help, like a game where you just back a trailer in over and over.Then you would get very good at solving the app course.
There's only one way: sit in a truck, look out the window or open the door to see, then begin backing. The thing that's irreplaceable, and the most value, is the deadly fear that you might pull the fender off the Kenworth parked on the far side of your parking slot. So you Get Out And Look!
A set of axles spaced close together, legally defined as more than 40 and less than 96 inches apart by the USDOT. Drivers tend to refer to the tandem axles on their trailer as just "tandems". You might hear a driver say, "I'm 400 pounds overweight on my tandems", referring to his trailer tandems, not his tractor tandems. Tractor tandems are generally just referred to as "drives" which is short for "drive axles".

When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.

@ChickieMonster:
First make a link, but for the URL use a simple link address:
< a href="www.google.com">My YouTube video < /a >
Then paste the YouTube link over the Google URL:
< a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vDGe62WAJ94">My YouTube video < /a >
And you get a YouTube link:

I think you meant to say, "When I pass the test today I won't have to test again on Friday."

It's all in how you look at that half-full glass.
