So down here in Laredo, customer lot is 15 bays long with 75 feet in front of each bay. Tight but plausible, now add in flatbeds on the right cutting 75 feet to 60 feet.
I get put in bay 11 which has no space past the spot because of additional flatbeds.
So I am literally parking in a corner, I am not allowed to blindside as per company policy, sight size is impossible.
Lot is full of active forklifts and little FedEx trucks and other parked big trucks.
I tried to talk to the yard dog but there was a big language barrier Google translate wasn't able to breach, perhaps not a Spanish speaker.
After an hour I make it out to the road and contact my DM and tell her we can't safely pickup have heard nothing for about 15 hours...
What do?
CR England: No blindside, cant pickup load

What choice do you have other than blindside? There isn't too much that can go wrong unless you hit a truck, or immovable objects, or you just snitch on yourself. All of that can be avoided if you get out and look. That may be England's policy, but you must remember, its only against policy if you get caught...
