I like seeing guys pulling out of inside tight docks and hear a "hhhheeeeeyyyy" In the Background only to see the door hanging by a thread once outside- Everyone outside at the Grill begin to laugh out loud,
Driver then sees it and begins to laugh too....Then everyone at the Plant goes outside and starts to laugh.....
Then The driver goes over to the Grill and Grabs a Chicken Breast and a Hamburger While Still Laughing
Then after about 5 minutes...The Door falls off and hits the Ground- and everyone Falls off their Chairs and 35 people Bellow out a laugh so strong, that all the businesses down the street can hear.MIT, ncmickey, Bean Jr. and 1 other person Thank this. -

For your software purposes, if the truck is tight up against the dock it will rub the little bumpers off the back of the trailer. Put the trailer against the dock and then slightly pull forward. An inch or two won't matter in *most* cases. Older dock plates, though, weren't very long, (maybe 18-24"), too big of a gap would be detrimental to getting unloaded.
