    Yup.... they have flatbedders in there. Unload out on the lot. Forklift does it from the sides of the flatbed.

    Well.

    I said I wasn’t going to go buy something during this time, where no one knows what tomorrow may bring, but I got to thinking, no matter what’s going on, no one ever knows what tomorrow shall be.
    So, thinking that way, I have done some paperwork on that new trailer.. it’ll be the first brand new semitrailer that I’ve ever got, so I got to go Tuesday after this Memorial Day is over, I get to go write a check.

    “There is no tomorrow. If you want to do something, then you should do it today. Because, tomorrow, will always be a new day with new possibilities.
    Tomorrow is only found in the calendar of fools.”

    Bear in mind on my whining. None of that will work unless the tandems are 3 feet from all the way back. That is the only way it will work. Only way.

    There's all kinds of room between those shelves to get farther up and a bit straighter to back in.

    Was that you I seen throwing his hat on the ground, then stomping it, while yelling profanities, before trying to back in a bit again?

    But there's no room at the end of the cement walls. I did that going in between the shelves. Yup.
    The only thing I lacked. I repeat.... ONLY THING I LACKED... The three feet on the tandems from all the way back. That was my only lack. That must be.

    Smartest thing I ever saw a door slammer do was at the...Flying J? outside of St Louis one night full lot, only 1 reserved spot left next to me amd and it was tight. Tandems forward, he angled in at about 45 deg, with his rear facing the truck to his right, he then unlocked his slider, pulled forward while his tandems moved all the way back thus eliminating most of his tail swing. He then cranked it around and dropped his trailer right in that spot and readjusted his tandems to where they were.

    Only I can think of is google maps. Probably won't include the shelving as it is now. I'll try to look?
    This pic will give you an idea of how tight the walls are on this dock. Truck is centered between the walls. Same distance both sides.
