Company Policy Regarding Difficult Backing Situations

Hi everyone, Hope all is well. I am new to the forum and am not a driver, but would like to be one someday. I wanted to thank Brett and all the forum moderators for an extremely informative and honest website for those interested in the trucking industry! As mentioned, I am not a driver but am currently a medical professional and have been contemplating a career change to trucking. I would like to thank Brett for his book on trucking which was extremely honest and informative!! Sadly, a lot of medical professionals like myself "whine" a lot like truckers about issues that impact us without looking at the positives of their situation. I follow a lot of youtube truckers and have been reading a lot of the information provided in this forum. As you probably know well, backing a truck is quite challenging and it is clear that may shippers/receivers/truckstops have very tight backing situations. My question is what do you do when you are in a position where you feel that a dock/parking spot is not safe to back into (assuming there are no other options-- ie you are at a shipper/receiver)-- do you call your safety department and do they "force" you to back in-- what are your options? (Sorry for the bad grammar in the last sentence) Thanks for any advice in advance!
