ill tell u what, i been a city driver officialy for 2 weeks now and i already seen plenty of docks where i pull up to them and said what idiot designed this?
i had to go to this flower shop in kokomo indiana, a brand new building....the lady told the company sure theres plenty of room to turn a semi around in
i stop on US 31 in the heart of kokomo (busy) and go to the back of the building....i dont even think i could turn my pickup truck around back there
i had to stop on us 31 and blindside into a narrow driveway that had a 4 foot drop off on the drivers side
i actually didnt have any problems but it was still nervewracking
cavert wire...kokomo, indiana

When I zoomed in on that it showed the drive, but no building.
I hate to tell you, but that is a lot of room to negotiate in. Pole or not. Trust me that is a piece of cake. The mouth of that drive is wide and Y'ed out on the end. I have seen many that was straight, narrow, poles and fire hydrants at the drive. Plenty of room at that one.
-
tell that to the guy who took 3 hours to bump the dock
-
All that tells me is there are drivers in trucks that should not be solo yet.walleye Thanks this.
-
I looked at that from street view, and I can't help but agree with the OP.
Looks to me that if a road truck with a 53' trailer were to back in there, the tractor would be in the street. -
lol on google street view u can even see where all the trucks have put there steer tire right in the grass and made a big rut across the street
-
I have been in a lot of places where the tractor was in the street. Even if that is the case look at the wide angle to approach the drive. Plus we are talking about a day cab here that can slide axles.
-
well no the reason i posted here is cuz almost everyone here is otr and was wondering if any of them have been there in a road tractor with a 53 foot trailer
its not bad for a daycab -
This baby looks pretty easy compared to some of the docks I was hitting in Chicago, the one I hit in Queens, and several in LA. I'm not saying I am the world's greatest trucker, but you should be able to hit that baby with no pullups if you set it up right.
-
a real trucker wood be abil to hit that door.
