It's pretty easy. I have successfully backed the dolly in angles with the pup deep back between two 53 footers.
I'm working on trying to back a set. I can back for 10 or so feet maybe a little more before it gets too crooked. If you let them get too crooked you can end up pushing the pups into eachother. Or you can even put the rear pup on it's side.
I'm still a long ways from figuring it out. And the fact that there are not many situations that I can utilize to practice, I don't know if I ever will.

I've seen one guy back doubles with con on the rear to hook a third trailer for his roadtrain.
Some people have alot of skill and some people have a lot of time. I also think there is a mix of both somewhere down the center and people just practice alot.
It's better to have the skill and not need it than to need it and not have it.

If companies insist on using doubles (still not clear to me as to why.....) then why don't we just switch to this kind of dolly?
