That makes corner of the drive is your tightest spot. And any length you can add around the side would help.
The transfer dumps won't have issues the way it is now, but a container on a semi would. And as someone else mentioned, the transitions to those steep slopes may be an issue, too. Tandem drive axles only have a limited articulation before an axle gets lifted off the ground = no traction. Also, there can be issues with the trailer getting into the cab when cornering if there's major changes in slope, i.e. the truck is on level ground while the trailer is on a steep slope.
