One advantage the Tesco trucks had over me was they had a Mavis rail
Mavis rail?
Is that the sliding suzie point things that most fridges have?
awful description. …

Yes, a mavis rail is the twin rails the suzies ec’t slide on, I’ve no idea why it’s called a mavis rail though, perhaps it’s something to do with the inventors name.

MAVIS (short for Montracon Articulated Vehicle Interconnection System)

There is no such thing as a no reversing in delivery point […]
…and thats why delivery points are staffed, so two people can come out stop the traffic and see the driver reverse in safely.
well thats given me my little chuckle for the day.

It’s right what they say, you learn something new every day 
Agree with what has already been said. '“You’d best move that lot first, let me know when you’ve done it”.

I don’t know how experienced the driver is but to be fair it looks like a horrible place for a newish driver to go, actually it doesn’t look like a good place for any driver to have to go to.It doesn’t look a lot different to some of our turning circles we have at our stores where the back of the trailer nearly catches one side and the front corner of the unit nearly catches the other side as you jack knife it round.
Getting into broad walk shopping centre in Knowle Bristol is like that no daylight between trailer and the walls inch either way and your up the wall no bloody better inside in a 45ft not pleasant at all.
Well at least he semi skimmed the unit past the wall
Maybe a four pint turn would get it out

0How do you know when too much lock is too much?
FFS ring the bell, get that gate open, and curve-reverse on the EASY side around… They give you these “Risk Assesement” thingies so you can make such plans, even if you’ve never done this depot before.
My worst tesco drop was Elephant & Castle where you’re not allowed to reverse in from the main road.
Muller don’t get given risk assessments, I have covered many runs and turned up to tesco stores blind.
BTW it wasn’t me… I don’t drive for them anymore

This. 
Om a DAF tech forum ,apparently driver phoned DAFaid and reported it as a non starter 
I don’t know if Muller drivers have a copy of the risk assessment issued to Tesco/Stobart
delivery drivers but if the yard is obstructed by RSU cages and does not conform to the
diagram on the Risk Assessment then the driver should request the store staff move the
obstruction and not enter the yard until they have.
Any refusal or argy bargy then call the office who will take ownership of the situation
the ultimate action they will bring you back to the yard.

Let me double check this, the muller driver who got stuck phoned dafaid??
That is what is being said ,though I don’t know if it is true or not ,Like any forum rumours start
As somebody who learnt my trade as a Class 1 driver doing night time Tesco deliveries for Wisemans, I sympathise fully with the driver in the picture. I’m just thankful that on the few occasions I ballsed up (thankfully never to the point I got stuck) I didn’t have some bellend with a camera filming me and sending to the press.
Mix inexperience with tight turned circles, cabs with poor visibility, bad light, empty cages & dot com vans parked all over the place and it’s a recipe for accidents. I remember turning up at back gates and peering inside for a good few minutes, flumoxxed at how the hell I was going to spin the thing around & then get it into position for going backwards. Reversing in off the road wasn’t often a viable option.

Leave them without milk, they’d soon organise the yard better so you could get in and spin it round
