P.o.s docks ! ! !

Welcome to the world of trucking! Believe me, it will get easier as time goes on. Just wait until you have to back into a tight alley, blind side, off a busy one way street and across a sidewalk that is constantly filled with pedestrians!

The so called architects that design commercial buildings must have slept through the part of their classes that taught them how to build access for trucks. Of course the other thing you have, particularly in older cities, are deliveries to places that were designed for trucks as they were back in the 1930's or so.

It is just part of the job.

 

Get use to it. They only get worse!

 

..at least you weren't backing in off the street, having to wait across the street for the light to turn red before you could attempt it.

 

There isn't enough room on the internet to tell you all the places I've been to like that and worse. But imagine a covered building, angled spaces, built in the 40's for small trailers, wall in-front of the spaces, A fire hydrant that is protected by steel poles. Set up to back in, if you set up wrong pull out & reset again, & again, & again, & again,..... Some of the Canadian drivers will know this place in Saskatoon & the one in Winnipeg.

Edit: I think they are Western Grocers

 

And to give you the answer....

They were designed back when 40 foot trailers & cabover's were widely used.

 

Is it this place?

 

SalSon in Newark, NJ.



Had to put it into one of the doors on the left against the building. What a serious "Charlie Foxtrot"!!!!

 

Been to the one in Saskatoon. They now have a yard goat move the trailers... but they charge you $25 in and $25 out.

I'm pretty sure I'm persona non grata there now.
