Reversing a car can be tricky.
Reversing a vehicle with little rear visibility can be tricky.
Reversing a vehicle with a trailer and little rear visibility would make my head hurt.
Reversing with two trailers would make my head really hurt.
Reversing with three trailers?
No. Just no.

Reversing with two trailers is sometimes easier than one trailer because the last trailer turns in the direction the cab does. With one trailer it would be doing the opposite.

Where we’re going, there is no reverse.

So, how would you approach reversing this?
It’s not as straightforward as it may seem...

The principles are the same for any trailer. So if you turned the wheel left you would send your trailer right. If you turned your wheels right you would turn the trailer left. The key with trailers is to try not to really sharp corners. That almost never works lol.

That one’s got two articulation points though (tractor pulls dolly on a drawbar, trailer sits on dolly) so I guess steering right sends the trailer right in this case.

Oh ok. then yes. If it’s an even number of articulation points than it will go the way you point if it’s odd then odd. The more numbers of articulation points the less reversing you want to do or you just end up a zig zag and you’ll never correct it.
