I drive for a company that doesn't allow U turns either. I verbally abuse my GPS when it tells me I need to make one.
There are some roads in Michigan where it's impossible to get to an address without using a U-turn.
One of our terminals is one of them, the company directions even say to make a u-turn. It just has to be done safely, remember you need a lot of space to complete it.
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.

Aome areas of Michigan have specialized U-Turn lanes designed and marked with specific signage for this purpose. These are not illegal or I'll advised.

However, Lytx system on our trucks still gives an alert that a U-turn was made. These U-turns also violate any company policy of not making U-turns.

Big no-no at our company as well. The handbook states you will be fired for making a U-turn. Good luck in your search.
