I am going to try and keep a minimal involvement with food. I thought I'd have a small store with pre packaged items if food and other convenience store items and a lounge area to stretch and just be comfortable outside the truck but in the A/C. I've actually thought of renting spaces to food trucks up by the road because I believe there will be lots of bnsf and tenant employee traffic but then.... I don't want to have a lot of 4 wheel traffic so idk? Great input though it's all worth considering.

Not really, and you'd be giving up a lot of spots as well. Angle parking is only benifitial when there is limited space to work with, say 100 feet total from the back of the spot to the far side of the lot.
In this lot, putting the trailers in at an angle allows for a smaller aisle which allows an 6 rows instead of 5, the problem is half of them are on the blindside and as you can see about 20% are parked poorly, making life miserable.
Here they put in angled "pull throughs". 15 spits per row, 3 rows, 4 aisles. If they'd just squared up the rows on either end and had them up against the curb they'd be able to get 10 more trucks in AND give everyone more room to work with.
If you have space for a 60 foot aisle and 80 foot spots on an angle, I'd just square them up. It eliminates blind side backing, gets more trucks into the same space, and reduces the number of guys you don't park correctly.Luther Morgan Thanks this. -
