Trucker here! This is one of the more difficult docks. It’s a busy, tight parking lot with lots of traffic coming & going past the dock.
**(Tip for other truckers) You have to back into the dock at a 45° angle, from around a corner into a narrow dock. Not the easiest. However a strategy is to get the left trailer tire, as close to the edge of the corner wall as possible, and then turn the trailer parallel to the wall. It works.**
I gave 2 stars because once backed in, there are cars zooming from around the corner, coming from left to right. There’s no way to know if someone is coming when it’s time to pull forward out of the dock. You can get out and look, but once you’re back in the truck, a car could have just started coming. That’s a head on collision waiting to happen. They should put a large circle mirror on the light pole (?) to the far right corner of the lot, that way all traffic can see what’s around the corner from both directions. It’s a really dangerous area.
Nonetheless the unloaders are really nice, understanding and patient. They will hold traffic, if you ask. The unloading is fast.
Apparently I went to best buy and spent alot of money
Wonderful customer service
Nice place to buy things from when you need to purchase something. We all need a place that's nice and affordable when you buy something
