Don,
I do drive only one starting direction to maneuver onto the leveler(s) - it depends upon whether I start with the leveler(s) in the front of the tire(s) or behind the tire(s). I use levelers starting onto either side of the tires, depending upon various factors.
In my example earlier, I move ONLY PARTIALLY OFF the Andersons before I put the last Andersons in place so I get less lift from the last Anderson as I pull onto it .... but get more lift on the original Andersons as I pull onto the last Anderson. This makes the last Anderson providing less lift because I'm not on it as much as the first Andersons I placeed in their positions. It sounds complicated to describe - but it isn't, really. It's probably easier to do with the stair-step blocks I made (see photo below) than it would be with the curvy Andersons.
I do that sometimes.
Don't you have duals? If so .... don't you need four levelers under four rear tires sometimes?
I also carry short 2X6 pieces along to sometimes prop under the high end of a leveler before I drive onto it - that way I can get about 6 inches of lift. However, I try not to do this with rocks (our traveling companions did this - but that stair step block in the photo is exactly like the five I built and use - note the handle on the side of the stair-step block):

I don't understand how five Anderson's could be used in a two step leveling, except by only driving one direction to do the deed.

On the other hand if one swapped the nose for the tail, on a class C, only four would be needed.

Personally I've never use leveling under more than three wheels, and never more than 4.5 inches.
