Truck Turns Clearance
Truck Turns Clearance
(OP)
I need information on the minimum/maximum clearance for a WB-65 truck from a building wall or curb. I got to fit a WB-65 turning template in a parking lot but there are only 4 feet of clearance between the truck and the wall of a proposed building and I don't want to end up with the truck hitting the wall when trying to turn. Can anybody give me a recommendation? Thank you.

What kind of parking lot is this anyway?

If the obstruction is a building, I would give more than that, since the damage would be greater. I'd also give more leeway for backing maneuvers.
I once watched a driver in a WB-50 place the front right corner of his truck within three inches of a bridge parapet without leaving any paint on it, but I wouldn't bet on getting drivers with that level of skill.
