how do I alley dock with 5 meters in front of me?

OP is from Dallas, didn't know they had meters in Texas.

 

We don't need more Government regulation just drivers saying nope not doing it.

 

Park it on the street. Tell them to get a chain and fork lift. And to drag their freight off if they want it...

 

I've had one situation like this, I got in by dropping/hooking the trailer only once... Getting out was much harder. I remember dropping an hooking the trailer at least 5 times, all with the help of the customer. Little did I know that most of the other drivers in the company(mostly owner operators) refused this load, after being there... It was also my last time, as you tend to remember these.

 

very...carefully

 

That dock was obviously built before 53 ft trailers, they should be required to rebuild/relocate the dock or get a switcher and switch tractor to do it with. How do you accomplish that? As some have done, refuse to go there and tell your company why.
