    Few guys on YouTube backing B sets at least, didn't see anyone backing rocky mountain doubles with success.

    You over the years I have heard this, pulled a set 20 plus years never saw anything but a short straight back, always the friend of a freind or a uncle.
    Inclined to not believe it till I see them, so far they have not shown up

    I pulled a "set" for yrs. Usually easier to just break it and dock it. A set can be backed up I've seen it (UPS) and one of our retired drivers do it. It takes awhile.

    I wonder if the tandem dolly and longer trailers are what make it easier. I pulled pups with a single axle dolly and dang if I could ever do it!! Hats off to him or them!

    Man my respect to this fellow driver he sure does got skills. @BigBob410 I've always been curious if there's any type of event here in the U.S where truckers from different companies go and do some backing skills with the tractor trailer, if there's any I sure would like to participate.

    Yes I've seen it twice, but this was before everyone had camera phones or smart phones like today.
