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.
Easy to laugh when it’s not you. Then again, I suppose we’ve all been noobs and had to take a ribbing at one point or another… then again, I’d have thought it would get to a point before that when you’d figure this is not looking like it’s going to work… just wondering if the driver ripped the hell out of his hoses etc.

I was thinking the same.
Be honest, how many of us have never ballsed up in some stupid arsed way during our careers, I know I certainly have, but in those days there was no social media for everybody to take the ■■■■.
Maybe it was the lad’s first day on an artic for all we know.

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.

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. 
I just love the way they design the store so that you can spin it, and then the staff stack it full of crap so that only an exactly perfect maneuver will get it around… 
I’ve only delivered to 4 or 5 Tesco Stores and at least two of them had a “no reversing through gate” on their Risk Assessment. I told one of them that they either shifted a hundred or so cages filling the yard so I could spin it or I reversed in, then I reversed in.
You do get the usual crap from the warehouse along the lines of “all the others manage to spin round” etc. If you were a new driver you might then go against your better judgement and try it.
I’m just glad that whenever I have made a ■■■■-up that no dickwad (so far 
) has been around to take photo’s and post them on the internet
No reverse in here, chaps, probably because the store is on one of Dorsets busiest roads.
Our yard is not far away and I go past this place everyday and I’ve always wondered how big the yard was because from the road it doesn’t very big at all.
’ Risk Assessment’…what a load of ball ■■■■■ these are…

They are all the same Evil. Doesn’t matter which supermarket company it is.
This surely has to be down to the route planner not following the risk assessment guidelines to make sure that the “vehicle” will fit into the yard. If it’s a tight squeeze, why send a tri-axle trailer in there? Send in an urban .
Drivers should stand up too and say to the store manager on arrival, please clear the “turning area” and I’ll come in to deliver as at the way it is at the moment it’s too dangerous and if he refuses then contact dispatch to tell them.

They send a tri axle in there coz a tri axle will turn in there, a double decker turns in there, if the driver needs stuff moving to make sure he gets round then get the store staff to get it moved, simple
Wish i was as perfect as some of the posters who have presumably never made a ■■■■ up, had everyone been walking round with hand held recording devices in years gone by no doubt my ■■■■ ups would have been eagerly posted for the perfect to laugh at.
Thanks for posting the aerial view Evil, its tight enough for an experienced hand by the look of it and no one knows how long the poor Muller’s driver has been doing the job, and the pic doesn’t show how much of the turning area the other side of the lorry is taken up with extra crap for the bank hols.
Note how the turning circle isn’t marked out, in an Asda store the min required circle is drawn so if stuff is spread inside to any degree its simply not going to work, looks like pure guesswork for any driver new to the delivery point.
Pound to a penny the tractor unit there in the pic is standard fleet spec, with not a single rear or rear side window fitted which the usual Tesco’s own tractor units do have, and any clued up operator going into stupidly designed delivery areas like this one would specify windows all round for their vehicles, but correctly specifying vehicles for the job they are intended for appears to be beyond the capability of most company suits now, had the vehicle windows all round the driver might have been able to see what was happening as the trailer started to reverse itself (as they do in overtight jack knifes) and reverse back round before it got too far, without those windows or a banksman slightly more use than a hivis wearing ornament the driver’s stuffed once it gets to that angle in such a place.
There is no such thing as a no reversing in delivery point, if the yard is too tight due to a stuffed yard then it simply aint going to turn…and you wouldn’t know with that brilliant yard design till you got in there…and thats why delivery points are staffed, so two people can come out stop the traffic and see the driver reverse in safely.

I used to do loads of Tesco store Deliveries from a well known supplier until it went central.
One advantage the Tesco trucks had over me was they had a Mavis rail and I didn’t. Amount of times I had to pop every line and hit shunt was ridiculous.
If the yard was crammed full of rsu I’d sometimes reverse out the reverse back in again depending on layout. Never once got into bother from any h+s Hitlers.
