Does look like it’s possible. You get an experienced driver he can get it in there. But a rookie will definitely hit the cars. A single screw daycab will make it much easier.
Could a 53' truck deliver here?

l have a difficult dock suggestion: Lowe's, Mt Vernon, Washington State. Dock is in the NW corner
There are buildings to the North now. l used to hit that dock twice a week. Drop and hook a 53' Dry Van. The Google map shows the most detail. This was not our worst blindside. there is one that is blindside down into a pit. The worst for us freight haulers at MayLast edited: May 7, 2020

Can you get the parking lot measurements ? The pic shows what appears to be about 2-3 spaces from front of bldg. You will need 53' to maneuver the trailer into the dock. It sounds like this is shared space with another tenant. The adjoining dock space could have a truck trailer unloading which will make it more difficult for your truck. Can you eyeball this property in person ?

This is at a place with about as much space to work with as in the ops picture. Most of the trucks coming in are day cabs. There are three fresh scars like this in front of 3 different docks, and innumerable old ones.
Grass is one thing, cars are another. Even if the rent is dirt cheap, how much per month should the OP be budgeting to repair his neighbors cars and or the building?alds, Rideandrepair, skellr and 2 others Thank this. -

Well first of all you’d have to back in all the way from the street. I would have someone who knows a little about backing a 53 foot trailer in on a telephone and I’d have my headset on having them guide me for that one. I mean I definitely could back in there but it probably would take 20 minutes and getting out of the truck half a dozen times to check my surroundings. And you’d have to come in at the exact perfect angle. It could be done, bud tgerd will lots of trail and errors.
Rideandrepair Thanks this.
