Yes you either have to blindside off 5th Ave, between a concrete wall and parked cars on blindside OR you come up from the south on 5th St.SE and make a right turn into the place just east of the docks, do a u-turn, exit that gate and directly cross thru the alley (tree on your right) and pull up and to the left into the 2 angled docks. This is our preferred method, avoiding the blindside backing around PepsiCo employees cars.
Incidentally that fenced in area with the trailers and docks, where we can do our u-turn to line up with that alley, is where local Pepsi drivers trailers are staged and loaded and their maintenance shop is located, but even that is a tight tricky turn around.
We got lucky this morning when I was informed that they no longer want sleeper trucks having to deliver there lol. I've taken probably 6 different trainees to that devil's dock. So we got to drop it at our terminal for a day cab driver to deliver
It sure rattles a trainees nerves delivering there, but if they can handle it, we know they'll absolutely be okay anywhere.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Day Cab:
A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
