I'm not a fan at all how ridiculously sue happy this nation has become. But in this case, I hope you sued. Our jobs are hard enough without having to deal with that garbage. One one hand, these facilities are expecting us to do our jobs in spite of wicked temperatures and brutal winds bringing ice and snow that covers our work space. And on the other they do nothing to hold up their end of the contract. Because this truly is a two way contract. We provide the labor and the equipment that provides them with product. They are supposed to provide acceptable work conditions and a sufficient amount of competent staff. Funny how rarely we get that.

Man, I hope I can get you as a trainer keen98. You know how to keep rolling, keep safe, and stay on the right side of everything it seems.

Any of you guys ever delivered beer to Spirit and Sanzone Distributing in East Syracuse? I am delivering there tomorrow and I'm having a hard time figuring out the place by looking at the satellite view.

1)The check in door is just to the left of the side docks. Go there first and see where they want you. You enter thru a gate that is front of those side docks.
2) I used to go around back and spin around and come back to the side docks so I could sight side back in. There is enough room out there but barely. Might be trickier depending on their snow plowing.
3) I personally drove in and stayed as far left as possible. After I checked in I would continue towards the back. As I reached the back I would hook it right so I could drive on the far right edge of the parking lot as you are approaching the rear docks. Then I would do a U Turn on the driver's side in front of the rear docks and head back around towards the side where you came in.
4) Now as you are turning left to go back towards the side docks stay as far left as possible as you approach the side docks so you can get the best set up for the side docks.
Pull hard left and skim the front of the docks as closely as you can. Hopefully there are not any other trucks there. Will be much easier.
5) As you are running out of parking lot towards the fence line hook hard right and then another hard left and head towards the gate entrance like you are leaving and stop as you roughly get to the threshold of leaving.
6) Begin your sight side back into whatever dock they give you. Do not slide your tandems back until you are lined up. Those side docks are inside and normally in cold weather after you are docked they want you to drop the trailer and pull the tractor forward outside. They will come with your paperwork when.
You can also ignore everything I said and blindside back in. It is what I did the first time when I had no idea what to do. I didn't do that again. I hope this all made sense. I've been there many times so it does to me but maybe not to someone who never has.Gremlin304 Thanks this.
