What they said. The bottom of the steering wheel goes in the direction the trailer needs to go.
There's about 5-10 degrees from straight where it's controlable, then another 5-10 degrees where a backwards turn is controllable, then anything further is an automatic jacknife.
The further back the axle is, the slower(but more controllable) backing will be.
Funny, I could flip 45ft trailers into line with 6 inches inbetween all day long, could park a 52ft air trailer in a blindside(passenger) dark hole tight against a dock, but still can't parrallel park a car.
