For those of you who have never been to AM Briggs, there is a nightclub across the street. You have to park on the street and walk up to the receiving department behind the building. Your delivery appointment is around 2-3 am. The driveway is a steep climb up from the street where it levels out at the top so you can't see what you're approaching until after you level out. The employee cars park around the perimeter of the lot and you have to maneuver around them. Their box trucks don't leave until around 6 am so you also have to maneuver around them to bump the dock. The only way to do it is come up the driveway and make a left to the dead-end of the lot. You dont have enough room to straighten out, so your trailer is still starting out going the wrong direction and you have little room to work with. Once you start going back towards the docks, then you have to zig zag because the docks are at an angle away from the street.
Lucky for everyone else, looks like they are permanently closed

Sweet sams in the Bronx.
Deb El foods in NJ. Dock is okay but you have to setup from the street. This is one of the rare serpentine setup. 90 degree setup will destroy your drive axles. 45 will destroy your bumper or front axle. Serpent, serpent.
Chefs warehouse in Chicago. These guys are actually in my blacklist. The gps doesn’t show anything but I’m withholding knowledge on this one ;D. I thought blocking 4 lanes of traffic in NYC was something to be proud.
There’s a bakery in Mass, I forgot the name. But same thing, setup from the street, very tight dock that is going down hill. I actually put cones in both on coming traffic cuz people there don’t stop.Blue jeans, bzinger and Smoken0221 Thank this. -

Many reasons. I’ve seen signs in Pa. for both the road and another for the shoulder.Lonesome, User666 and Smoken0221 Thank this. -
