    Lets just see how long it takes for door slammer extraordinaire and his tarp monkey comments to show up.

    Open? Look at the shelving on the far left of the first pic.
    Mac was right. You back in by approaching from other side for a sight side. You pull out from the dock. Then left. End setup with cab about facing where I took the picture from. Then you back. Jacknifing the trailer. There isn't much room in front. But without the shelves on the left. Wouldn't be too bad. Do able.
    Here's directly in front. It's tight.

    Yup.... they have flatbedders in there. Unload out on the lot. Forklift does it from the sides of the flatbed.

    Well.

    I said I wasn’t going to go buy something during this time, where no one knows what tomorrow may bring, but I got to thinking, no matter what’s going on, no one ever knows what tomorrow shall be.
    So, thinking that way, I have done some paperwork on that new trailer.. it’ll be the first brand new semitrailer that I’ve ever got, so I got to go Tuesday after this Memorial Day is over, I get to go write a check.

    “There is no tomorrow. If you want to do something, then you should do it today. Because, tomorrow, will always be a new day with new possibilities.
    Tomorrow is only found in the calendar of fools.”

    Bear in mind on my whining. None of that will work unless the tandems are 3 feet from all the way back. That is the only way it will work. Only way.

    There's all kinds of room between those shelves to get farther up and a bit straighter to back in.

    Was that you I seen throwing his hat on the ground, then stomping it, while yelling profanities, before trying to back in a bit again?

    But there's no room at the end of the cement walls. I did that going in between the shelves. Yup.
    The only thing I lacked. I repeat.... ONLY THING I LACKED... The three feet on the tandems from all the way back. That was my only lack. That must be.
