Almost impossible to back in there!

Maybe this will work, here's a video from one of about 26 locations we spot trailers at around the state of Florida. This isn't the most difficult I do, but definitely in the top 5. It's off an alley street in Orlando, you have to rub the limbs to get it in there and not hit the container, it would be nice for the business to trim them up but so long as I get it in there they're not going to do that

And last, but not least here's one from my time in Pennsylvania. This was taken at McKee's Rocks where they load frac sand, I was loading urea, once again the picture doesn't do the situation justice. There was another building directly across from me, so this is basically like backing off of an alley, then once I was in the building I had to line up my tanker hatch with the conveyor belt to get loaded.

 

You guys were never in Interbake in Elizabeth, NJ. One of the toughest places I ever had to back into. And my favorite place as well. They moved from Jersey to Front Royal, VA but the memories of that place will always stay.

 

delivering meat in east la
got to receiver parked in the alley beside the single door at an angle
all chinamen in the office
one that didnt speak english
hand signaled me to follow him
he stood in front of the truck and blindside directed me in
wrong way on a one way street with cars a foot away on either side
one shot no pull ups
it would have been impossible without him
another whole skill set to hand signal
a driver when to cut wheels
i was impressed
took me 2 pullups to get out

 

3 feet to spare.... no problem

Try backing where you have 3 inch to spare.

 

I know where that is. MRIE park off Nichol ave.
Useless info. few years before that, The sand haulers had to load near the river. where all sorts of debris popped tires.



Former employer had our trucks in the adjacent building.
small world.

 

That was three feet to spare through the 90 degree turn as well......there is always one of you out there !

 

In Dubuque,Iowa I use to deliver to this rinky dink paper place in a tight alley once a week and dreaded it every week.They're located in an alley garbage and homemade steps everywhere.You had to back at an angle being ever so carefull otherwise you're going to hit a building on the other side.I ask my boss if he would give this customer to another driver.Getting out and back onto the street was just as challenging.I swear some places should only have straight trks deliver to them.

 

Looks like my day Friday of this week.
The holiday shut down the mill I usually haul from so they had me going to a transfer station hauling trash (live 53' walking floor trailer) to a paper fiber facility 8 miles away.
The transfer building door was about that tight and had only about 70ft in front of it to a fence and RXR tracks so I had to do a 90deg back in with this long tractor I drive.
I was there 4 times Friday,what a PITA!

 

I actually enjoyed those kind of deliveries....

When I pulled a dry van years ago, the BEST people you dealt with were at the Small,Older Chicago Brick style buildings,(You know the kind with only 1-3 dock doors)

you as a driver,Are treated much better than the more current 150 door logistical warehouse that stands 50 feet high. (You know the kind im talking about,Walls that are Poured in with concrete)

yeah,You have room for 1,000 trucks, But the Service and respect are Poor.



I'll take my old,small brick Building ANYDAY inner city...As opposed to those Logistic centers run by idiots with their heads cut off
