    Sometimes there are reasons for that.... gotta look inside their warehouse... tons of stuff and they need the product at specific docks...

    This dock was interesting but surprisingly not that hard. Now had someone been in the door next to mine it would have been insane. Only 2 doors there.

    Did you see the short wall on his driver side? There is very little room for a driver side backing there...

    I know you will remember this... whenever I encountered a very tight place, I would figure out where to place the tandems cause that makes big difference... sometimes have to move them in the middle of the backing to adjust...

    I failed to take a picture of both walls. That same wall is on both sides. Making it a tight entrance.

    Even with this truck. I was in Spokane. Place had me move to another dock. Reason was what I had on. They sent me in the back to the land of jostlers and day cabs. It was tight. I nailed it the first attempt. Difference is it was workable.
    It wasn't no.... Only way it will work is if you have the tandems 3 feet from back.

    But wait.... when he pulled forward he still needed more room in front to make it work... I will need a bird's eye view of that... :biggrin_1square1:
