Could a 53' truck deliver here?

Does look like it’s possible. You get an experienced driver he can get it in there. But a rookie will definitely hit the cars. A single screw daycab will make it much easier.

 

l have a difficult dock suggestion: Lowe's, Mt Vernon, Washington State. Dock is in the NW corner
There are buildings to the North now. l used to hit that dock twice a week. Drop and hook a 53' Dry Van. The Google map shows the most detail. This was not our worst blindside. there is one that is blindside down into a pit. The worst for us freight haulers at May

 

I can see and agree with that. I was working with the understanding that those cars would be there regardless as the OP said the cars straight across from the dock would be there. I may have read too much into it though.

 

That is the key point. If anybody parks in any of those spots or across from the dock, that dock becomes a royal pain, if not down right impossible.



This is at a place with about as much space to work with as in the ops picture. Most of the trucks coming in are day cabs. There are three fresh scars like this in front of 3 different docks, and innumerable old ones.

Grass is one thing, cars are another. Even if the rent is dirt cheap, how much per month should the OP be budgeting to repair his neighbors cars and or the building?

 

That's a doable back. It isn't easy but you can manage if you're skilled. If it were me, I'd use that entrance to my advantage to get more room.

 

That's how I would do. A driver could just follow the trailer easily on there if backing at a 45. I broke into the game on spread axle flatbeds. Western Express have those 53 footers so you had to learn to back. Now I'm pulling reefer and I back it like I'm still pulling a flat

 

Man them 53 spreads are tough. Never liked them. Ill take my 48 any day of the week

 

They are!!! Western had those old SMX 48 footers. I'd get so excited to get those. Then after one load, they'd take it off of me and back to the 53' but they sure make a driver out of you

 

Well first of all you’d have to back in all the way from the street. I would have someone who knows a little about backing a 53 foot trailer in on a telephone and I’d have my headset on having them guide me for that one. I mean I definitely could back in there but it probably would take 20 minutes and getting out of the truck half a dozen times to check my surroundings. And you’d have to come in at the exact perfect angle. It could be done, bud tgerd will lots of trail and errors.
