Prime Trainers - Backing

I came across this video from the Safety Department at CR England. First off I'm in no way comparing the training that you provide, to that of CR England, but I have a basic question for my satisfaction.
I can not believe that CR England makes up their own method of teaching a student to back, I'm sure they are using some established safe methods from way back but.......... watch this video (primarly the 2nd angle back shown), is this the technique your safety department would like to see your new drivers perform, before they test out? Check out the extreme angles this guy is using, and then think about a loaded trailer and the stress on the equipment. I would love some feed back from you all on these techniques. It maybe the standard in the industry, I know your company is on top of the newest safest methods of performing daily tasks in this industry, so that why I'm specifically asking Prime trainiers or former Prime trainers. Thank you inadvance for you input.

P.S. I hope to someday work in a trucking safety depatment, so thats why I'm studying this so close.

Wow, 53 views and no comments? Come on Ironpony

 

LOL !! thinking about a career in politics perhaps?

 

Seriously, jack knifing in those extreme angles is not hard on equipment with a fully loaded trailer? I guess I was trained differently. I know there are always going to be certain situations where you need to do extreme maneuvers, but I rarely find it necessary to do a jack knife like they are doing in that video, but maybe that’s the safest way?

 

Anytime you jackknife a trailer like that under load, it’s hard on the suspension, if you don’t believe ask any of Prime's trailer techs .
Fair enough, I'm just looking to create a dialog. I guess in the reefer world, you need to do this type backing, but anytime I’m jackknifing like they show in this video and I’m doing a simple 45 back I would question whether I had the correct set up. Make sense?
