Blind side makes spotter more important......
Marking where trailer tires need to go helps spotter signal corrections
Also 'swoop maneuver' helps position trailer rear end.
Swoop......
Drive towards parking spot close to edge of drive same side spot is on
When front trailer tire is even with far edge of spot turn truck away (hard left) until truck is 45* then turn it back to right until truck is parallel with drive/road.
Rear of trailer should now be 45* to drive/road and combo lined up to start backing into spot.
