Is the building deep enough to use one single door at
the end? The new car dealers around here are like
that, every car comes in one door, drives the legenth
of the building and turns in.

Do the same only outside, drive the legenth of the
building, then turn into your door of choice, long
trucks and anything with a trailer woud be a pain
either way.   Dustin Lof
