For the most part, pretty easy in and out. Are they all like that? Hell no.
And even if the warehouse is super easy to get to, doesn't mean the docks are gonna be easy. Some of these facilities were built when trailers were only 40' long and they haven't done anything to make life easy for us.
Not trying to scare you, but that's the reality of things.MachoCyclone, rabbiporkchop, 25(2)+2 and 1 other person Thank this. -

The majority Yes, are there some that are difficult? Hell yes. I once delivered to a shop rite in Jersey, there was a sign that said truck entrance but what it didn't say was back up thru the parking lot, so i just drove to the back and ended up giving a guy $20 in a day cab to turn my trailer around and then had the manager of the store, the fork lift driver and two customers help get me out of the parking lot
Best advice is use google map to see where you are delivering before you get there to see how to get in and outarchangelic peon, Voyager1968, bamamac and 1 other person Thank this. -
Best to park outside and check it out on foot when in doubt

Thankfully was able to jack it around because two other guys followed me in & we couldn't back out & couldn't pull through to the other entrance/exit side because they had a fence dividing the two sides...didn't help that the local dudes parked their bobtails right across from the docks.
Google maps still hasn't updated the new north building & lot yet.
