    Are the majority of your locations where load or unload in hard to get to warehouses?

    They lie! Lol
    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.

    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 out

    Best to park outside and check it out on foot when in doubt

    If it's the one with the truck entrance on the corner of Lister Ave & Joseph St in Newark I did the exact same thing....looked bigger than it was from the super safe looking street parking at midnight.
    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.
