    I’m not talking catastrophically bad where one side is sticking totally out of the dock door, just slightly crooked where maybe one of your rubber guards is touching and the other is slightly off. Will they make you reset for that or am I worrying over nothing? Thanks

    I'd say your over thinking it, as long as the dock plate is in the trailer. And people can get in and out of the docks next to you. You will be fine.

    If the dock plate fits ok, then you're ok. Doesn't have to be perfect.
