Offset backing advice needed, please!!

Hi all, I'm Benjamin and I am attending a trucking school here in Texas. My instructor is say prior to offset backing turn the wheel all the way to the right or left depending on offset left or right. Which is fine and I agree but than he says to do a 3 second count but that I can't get no consistency from going to fast or slow. I have found information online of knowing you are at the right angle when you see 3/4 of the landing gear in the convex mirror. Could someone please elaborate how to use this method, because I can't use the corner of trailer over thetractor frame rail method due to we are using tractor w/ sleeper. Any and all help would be very much appreciated. 

Thanks all,
