Trailer backing Challenge

What happens here

"Trailer Jake" prepares for his first attempt by wearing a blindfold that covers his eyes completely. The side windows of the truck are also blacked out, leaving no direct rear visibility for the driver. He begins to back the truck and trailer from a starting position on the street. With verbal guidance from a spotter, Jake maneuvers the trailer around the first two 90-degree corners on the street, then enters a driveway. He navigates the third corner, passing between a stack of logs and a parked car. He then attempts the final, tight 90-degree corner between the skid loader and the barn. He makes multiple forward and backward adjustments to position the trailer correctly.

Goal: Complete the course while visually impaired, relying on a spotter.
