The store in question is a neighborhood Walmart in garden city Idaho. It's in a shopping center. There's a post office right behind the store where you are supposed to come around. The post office has a fenced area where all their delivery vans are parked. You have to manuver around the fence on your left, with the curb on your right. And if your tandems aren't all the way forward you cannot make the turn. I didn't know that at the time and had my tandems a quarter back. I saw in my mirror my trailer wasn't going to clear the fence. So instead of stopping and realizing my error, I turned to the right thinking I could get enough room around. But instead hit the curb with my steer tire and then lodging it in the gravel. I wasn't going that fast 10mph tops but it happened fast. Either way I learned my lesson. That whole Walmart setup is screwed up. After clearing the post office you then have to pull out in front of 4 lanes of traffic on a major road and back into a narrow dock. I was pretty inexperienced at the time. But after getting pulled out of the gravel I still was able to make my delivery lol.
