Pretty amazing how he can do that. The pavement must have been very smooth to minimize any bouncing.
The trucks are going in reverse because it is far easier to stay a straight course using the truck's mirrors. The drivers use the line of sight along the lengths of the straight sides of the trucks to maintain a fixed distance and there is a pylon or something they are using to hone in on. They could not do the same going forward.
Interesting. The truck on the right is a tractor-trailer and stays straight. Only the easier-to-steer box truck on the left moves away from the straight line.
