I could use some advice on loading docks.  Trucks that deliver art keep 
getting bigger and bigger, and our loading dock is not up to snuff.  It 
is as narrow as a residential driveway, about 40' long,  and opens onto 
a two-lane residential street.  We'd like to expand but we need solid 
numbers on how much space a full-sized semi (what are they, 80' long 
now) needs to turn and back in to a driveway.  Anybody know a website or 
consultant who can help us?  Everybody on our board who ever held a 
drafting pencil has an opinion, and they all differ.  I'd like an 
expert, not a guess, before we start bringing in bulldozers.   In the 
meantime, we have to use a transfer company (the only one in town) every 
time we have a delivery in a large truck.  The sooner we can eliminate 
this middle step, the easier my life will be. 

thanks in advance!
