    There's even a easier way to remember:

    "steer into the problem"

    This works on straightline, 45 degree, 90 degree, blind side, and parallel.

    Dont know if this was mentioned but if you know someone with a pickup and a short 10-12' utility trailer, use it. This is how i learned to back up a trailer, way before being in a semi. Cover the back window so ya dont cheat. The trailer will turn so quickly you really gotta stay on top of it. When ya get into a big truck with a 48-53', it will be cake.
