      my exact thoughts, I've been driving for 28 and did doubles for 22 of that and I could do a pup and a dolly but not a whole set especially blindsided, that's an outstanding and probably gifted driver right there, and I agree with somebody else he doesn't get paid enough no matter what he's getting paid!!!!! 🙃

    What people sometimes don't appreciate, is the number of turning moments to try and control whilst doing that manouver shown here.
    A backward thinking mind helps too!
    Simply by viewing images through mirrors whilst reversing.
    Now that is a really clever human ability to get this right, proberly with lots of practice until it becomes second nature.
    There is a degree of luck to do it right every time.
    Looks like 4 moments (pivot/swivel) points to be aware of on a 'B' train combination.
    Amazing skill indeed.😃👍

      There are 3 jointed truck reversed.
      Only hard thing i see in reversing american Blinks is the way rear trailer is shorter than front lne.
      Finland mainly uses fulltrailers. Also Blinks are common and triple jointed HCTs. For finnish drivers they are easy task. Triple jointed might take some time to learn.
      Different story for average american and european drivers.

    Man..I thought i was bad ass when i pulled off a parallel park one night in a dark Texas rest stop between 2 other rigs from my blind side but this is some next level skill. Well done driver. 👍
