Closest recent example I have to your truck with 12 wheel trailer backing blindsided into driveway with markers example (if I understood you right), is backing my 24 foot travel trailer blindsided into my driveway (markers on edges of culvert). What works for me in my case is picturing the arc the trailer wheels need to follow and lining that up while I can see the trailer tail and wheels in my passenger mirror, then reverse. It helps having the convex mirrors adjusted for widest angle possible. Yes there is that moment of only seeing the side of the trailer in your passenger mirror, but if you've "felt" the arc right you have the trailer going straight down between the markers by the time your mirrors pick up the tail/wheels of the trailer again. If I think my clearances aren't right I will pull ahead and try again, or get out and look with my own eyes.
