Truck Parking Layout

I'd still go with #2. I see that the east side of the angle parking isn't see side, so..unless there is a restriction preventing it, it should be converted also. I like #2 also, as you have a variety of spots that could accomodate vans up front, flatbeds in the middle and sides of the lower section, and wide loads could be parked in the direct back as you've left a good 85 feet of clearance to use to put those loads in the holes. As long as the vans don't steal the flats area, we'll be good. Don't forget that any section, not big enough to hold a full size truck could be cut up to allow Bobtail vehicles parking or hotshot only slots, so they'll stay out of the full size slots for the full size trucks. Thanks for taking the feedback.

Yep, you left enough information in that for an old draftsmen to figure out where it was, thanks to modern technology and Google Maps

 

Blind side backup in #3 layout?
Are you selling pay per view subscription of the parking lot live action?
Are you trying to compete with that Mira Loma CA Flying J?
Please...

 

I think you are smart and a quick study.

 

I like this new #2.

 

Surprised how many are nose in. Must be polite Canuckistan.

 

I love when contractors think they're really catering to drivers when it comes to parking. OP I'm not singling you out, I'm talking generally.

In reality the vast majority of "drivers" can't back up or park for sh@t. They are ignorant, lazy or a combination of both with some "I just don't give a F" tossed in. They don't care about the facility/amenities you'll offer because they don't use them. Just take advantage of the parking.

I know exactly where you're putting this place and I will tell you now, no matter what you plan for it will turn into a shtshow after its built. I hope you're the contractor that is building this and when you're finished you can walk away with success. If you're someone who's involved the ownership/management of the place, good luck.

 

Personally I'm a fan of #3 or #2 on the redraw I prefer angled parking in general. I agree with @Bean Jr. comment, I haul containers, and certain chassis, they don't turn/back very well, a 20' on a shortened 20' chassis can easily get away from you in jackknife backing situation and actually make things worse, and other chassis, like a 3 axle heavy haul container chassis, they simply don't want to turn while backing and can be a real bear to jackknife into a spot.

Also, as I look at where you are planning, there are multiple customers in that area that will use containers, so you're going to have a lot of odd size trucks coming through. Also, I wonder if you'd have a better location for services at Pederson Rd vs Brookline, looks like a lot of residential and an airport at Brookline

 

I'd appreciate it if Love's would build actual truck stops and not travel centers designed for four wheelers more than truckers. Every truck stop should look like a Portage, WI or Perrysburg, OH Petro at the minimum.

 

Number 3 but change the outside parking to driver side back in. Not blind side.
