Designed for day cabs pulling 48-foot trailers. Impossibly tight, unsafe, this is the site of frequent accidents. They could fix it with a change in procedure rather than a physical reworking of the dock area. Drivers could drop the trailer in a staging area and park in a designated staging area for tractors and let the "yard dogs" put the trailer to the dock. No room in front of you to back in, concrete poles and berms and high curbing waaaaaay too close to the dock. I have asked my company to refuse any freight into or out of that facility because of the ridiculous safety issue there. Reinhart won't fix it, and I'm betting my company won't hear my safety concerns. But I will refuse any load into or out of there.
That and... a 6 hour wait to unload about 1/4th of a trailer. Mandatory $150 lumper fee. The lumpers made more money on that load than I did.
