aw bon appetite wasn't too bad after the first dozen or so times...you should've seen there old place where you had to navigate the obstacle course of people and equipment when backing into the dock...now that place was fun!!!

H.E.B. dc in houston,tx

Downtown Chicago at 4:00 P.M. to pick up a show.I forgot the name of the Hotel.Hilton or some place like that.It is located underground 3 LEVELS DOWN...Once you get down there it is a blind side back with this giant beam right it front of the dock.Almost impossible.
I had to call in a police escort and they sent me a woman cop on a horse..This dock was by far the worst of the worst.It took me 40 minutes to get down there and a half hour to back it in.. -
the space park office complex in Crashville, TN.
all 45* angle docks behind the buildings, access road is only 10' wide, trucks parked everywhere, low hanging electrical wires, docks were designed for straight trucks, driving a Volvo sleeper cab and a 53' van... fun times -
This was the worst place to date with a 48 spread to get into. Asked the loader if a 102 would fit he said yea with about 3" on each side. Its no big deal take your time getting in. Managed to get it in. Couldnt walk between the trailer and the beam and had less room on the other side. Met up with their driver the next morning and said it was a fun place to get into he goes oh its not that bad. Said yea Coming from a guy with a daycab and a 96 wide with sliding tandems. We both just busted out laughing about it. -
Temple Inland in Fletcher OK. Mostly due to a bad set up on my part. Took me about 20 minutes to get right and get in without hitting anything. Judging from the amount of gouges in the concrete a lot of drivers have fared badly there.

Domino sugar in Baltimore. Not hard, but very tight and annoying. Have to fold your mirrors once docked to allow the trucks on each side to be able to move.
