Driving a semi truck and trailers (the risks) please help!?

Question:
i work at a railyard and at times i be shakey about driving with containers and trailers. we drive 20's, 40's, 45's,48's and 53 foot trailers. how easy is it to flip them over when driving them? like when im trying to back into a parking area between 2 trailers, i get nervous that its going to flip if i cut the wheel to hard. its a hostler truck that has a raising and lowering 5th wheel. is it easy for them to flip over or am i just being paranoid? any advice on how to safely drive with them trailers on my back and how to properly back them in?

i have hauled off road and cut in and out of ditches and pulled trailers over rocks and mound as high as three feet and never had one tip.you should not have any worries just backing into spaces or driving at slow speeds in the yard

I think you just paranoid... be confident in yourself. It will not flip over if your goung slow. Just think your driving in your car and you make a slow turn nothing happens but your going like 80mph and take a real sharp turn then roll it.. common sense
