I wanted to know if a semi driving down the road and going all the way to the right would have enough space to back up into the 90 degree area then drive back up the road. Thanks!

I would say it's not possible with your standard 5 axle, 53' trailer with a sleeper. At least so difficult that anything outside those dimensions will be damaged eventually.Coffey Thanks this. -

Look for what's been hit before. It'll clue you into what to watchout for. Good luck.

You shouldn't have any problems in a regular truck. I have a 230" wheelbase, and a 48' trailer. Here is a pic of my driveway. I pull in, and I back out. Now, I do have to use my dump valve to make it possible, but it's way less room than you have. Unless you have something really stretched, or lots of axles, you shouldn't have any trouble.
Here's what I'd do in your shoes:
