Ask anyone who has tried to back up a trailer. you simply cannot control the trailer that well in reverse. It HAS to have been filmed and played backwards or have been photoshopped My brother drives semis for a living and he just laughed when I asked him ANGUS and JohnnyQuest 2 Awards

I've backed large trailers my entire life and if you keep the wheels straight the trailer doesn't move. My RV trailer is 33 feet long and I can back it up in a straight line all day. These guys were working with a long and very smooth surface (probably an airport runway) and I don't see anything that is impossible. Gatorgirl, JohnnyQuest and Leadfinger 3 Awards

I too think forward and played in reverse....amazing in any direction... As Nick pointed out above with a link from the Wall Street Journal, Volvo claims that it was filmed in a single take while the trucks were going in reverse. http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/11/15/how-volvo-created-the-jean-claude-van-damme-video/ Nilsson said the drivers of the trucks played key roles. “What they did is fantastic. I don’t know if you have tried to drive backwards with a truck but it’s not the easiest thing,” he said. “And then [to] keep it in total control when spreading apart is very, very hard.” The trucks go backward in the video because “we all know that going in reverse is a bit more difficult than going forward,” Vilhelmsson said. “We felt that would be the ultimate test, to have the trucks go in reverse with someone standing on the side mirrors performing a side split. And we knew that if anyone would be able to do that, it would have to be Jean-Claude Van Damme.” deerejon 1 Awards

Seems like the easiest way to do it for a short distance in reverse. the truck on the left is a box truck, so no trailer , it most likely the one that did all the steering while the other truck just worked on going backwards straight.
