Standard Produce, Charlottesville, VA... Have to be perfectly jack-knifed when you bump the dock so you dont block the street. Blocking the street comes with a heafty fine. Then once you are empty you have to backup down a one way against the flow of traffic to get out.

It wasn’t really “tight” but it was interesting.
East of Wolf Montana I had to deliver a tanker load of cleaning agent for a old oil well. When I got to the dirt road(if you want to call it that) it was muddy with melting snow and the tank was about two miles away. No problem, they put a D8 bulldozer in front and said we will pull you in and out if you get stuck.
Had to have three pulls.bentstrider83, Lumper Humper, Crude Truckin' and 1 other person Thank this. -
They don't measure from center of the wheel they just post em a foot higher unless it's a white sign then it's supposed to be actual heightUser666 and Smoken0221 Thank this. -
I remember Hunts Point NY could be pretty tight on Monday morning.

I run spot with a big tractor so they are everywhere.
My favorites are the indoor ones with a foot between the trailers and you have to back inside with the sun in your eyes/mirrors. Hey, why don't you just hand me a blindfold and take bets?Turn4, bentstrider83, homeskillet and 2 others Thank this.
