    That doesn’t look too bad. I would just back in towards the northwest until the end of the trailer reaches the corner of the building and sit right there. If they want you out of there faster, they can unload you sooner.

    To be honest it's do able, but it's just quicker if they would come to me. My truck is a double axle, and if im in my 48ft trailer my axles are all the way to the back, and they're welded plus even if I could company policy doesnt allow us to manipulate tandems on trailers.\

    Company doesn't allow you to slide tandems? That's asinine

    Sysco is the same way. Can't slide tandems or fifth wheel.

    I'm not sure what the thought process is behind the tandem policy. Specially since my career doesn't even go into any Nazi states

    Then they must have some dang good route planners to avoid putting stops on a 48 when it can’t be reached with one.

    I would not have been able to get even close to 2 of my stops on Friday if my tandems were all the way back, and at least 6 other stops would have been a major pain in the ###.
