That's the way most smart dispatchers plan the loads. It's just easier and safer not to have to struggle to get in and out.
I didn't mean to make unloading sound like a horror show. It usually goes along with little or no problems.

You just got to pull in the station the right way the first approach......so your near the fills.

Also it makes a difference if you’re driving a semi tanker or a truck/trailer setup. The truck/trailer being the more maneuverable of the two.

In the years I hauled fuel with a tankwagon (bobtail), and pup trailer it was always easier to back in, then drive forward out.

from the street doing otr with traffic from both directions what I liked to do was get both lanes blocked off as fast as possible then everybody can wait if they don’t like it they can blow it out their ###.buddyd157 Thanks this. -
When I hauled fuel in Florida in the mid 90's we always were given a map of the station layout with location to park the truck labeled on it. It made it easy to plan back before Google maps were a thing.
