Yup, STAA and Rocky Mountain doubles don't behave like this because second trailer has nasty dolly

I guess if someone has a b-double mod, yeah this would apply.

Except there's one problem. The US, by standard, don't use these type of double trailers and is thus.. useless to the majority. Besides, the STAA, Triple, and other standard combinations used are not typically backed up, and instead are usually dropped off and a yard worker takes care of the rest.

This depends on the business though, so this may vary.

Simply use a day cab with shorter wheelbase for doubles. Then parking them forward, once you get the hang of it, should not be a problem. Just like parking long 3 articulation point heavy cargo should not be a problem, once you know how.

Normal doubles are not like that, they have a dolly between the doubles, that makes backing up much very difficult. It is my understanding the Rocky Mountain doubles (within Nevada only I think) might be similar to the video, but I have never used those.

Rocky Mountain doubles/triples is what we have in-game. 2-3 28' pup trailers.

In the standard game, SCS locks the "hard" option of parking doubles so you never have to back them up. This is the same for the heavy cargo DLC trailers as well. You have either skip parking, or the easy park which is simply just pulling forward to a specific spot. Only single trailers have all three options unlocked.

The doubles in game aren't reversed. You just pull in forward and drop them.

Yeah I didn't realise they were different doubles. Was interesting to watch still though, I had hope. :/
