Yes, they can travel without trailers. They're known as "bobtails" when there's no trailer attached. They can travel just as far as they could with a trailer. When a truck is running with an empty trailer or without a trailer, this is known as "deadhead", which is considered undesirable by companies, since they're typically not paid for deadhead miles.

How to back a semi truck?
Stop the truck, shift into reverse, let off the clutch. Or, if you have an automatic, you just push the button for reverse, then take your foot off the brake. As for maneuvering a trailer, turn the wheel to the left to turn the trailer right and vice versa. If you get a diecast model of a semi truck and trailer and maneuver the trailer while you back it up, it could give you a basic understanding of how it works.
If a tractor is insured is the trailer that the tractor is hooked insured?
I would have to say no. I have a tractor that is insured the only thing that is insured is just that the tractor (fire theft etc). Although You can get your trailer insured just as you can an ATV horse trailer car truck if you had a policy for it. your tractor insurance will not help with the trailer.
