Renting a warehouse. Could you deliver here?

Not real good but would probably work. If it has a dock odds are it’s had trucks in there. If you got a truck in there that couldn’t get back to the dock worse case scenario you have a pallet jack and take all the pallets to the back and unload them with a forklift from there. I’ve seen that done numerous times just depends how energetic you are. That would just require a truck to back straight in. Of course your neighbors may not like that. It would probably only be an option if you only occasionally got trucks longer than 60 foot.

 

If the truck can get backed up to the dock he would easily be able to just pull out of there when he leaves.

Just a thought. They make portable ramps that you can put out in the parking lot of any shop to use as a warehouse. Might make finding a place easier if it doesn’t have to have a loading dock.

 

I could get in there, and I could get out, but it would take a bit of time and I would be less than happy. That dock is designed for box trucks, not semis. If you're getting a lot of semi deliveries on a regular basis, look elsewhere.

 

Isn’t Overland Park one of those hipster infested places that doesn’t like them big ol’ dirty trucks on their streets?

 

So in theory it works, but it would be regulated to one truck delivery at a time for the whole building. Think about this… You have 80’ from dock to curb, if a truck trailer combo is 72’ that leaves exactly 8’ for traffic to pass in front of the truck while it loads/unloads. 8’ clearance is just not enough for another truck to pass by.

Also if your neighbor to the left has truck in his dock, your truck can’t back into your’s because he needs that space for his backing maneuvers.

 

I don’t have a dog in this fight but what do Hipsters have to do with whether you can get a truck in to a warehouse? I understand the feeling that some folks want their stuff but not the trucks that deliver their stuff. Clearly at 59 and the owner of “a big old dirty engine glider” I am a long way from being a Hipster but I can do research. Prior to your comment I didn’t know much about Overland Park Ks but inquiring minds needed to know. If I was relocating or starting a business it seems locating one where the median income is over 100 Grand is a good business decision.

 

It not that hip. Ha Ha
