I'm putting together a layout for a site that is, for lack of a better word, cramped. I need to provide (front loading) trash truck access to an enclosure.

Currently, there is a dispute in regards to the type of AASHTO vehicle to be used for turn-modeling within my office. The municipality and its officers offer no suggestions.

So experts, what say you?
 
Either

A) Use the vehicle that most closely matches the garbage truck, even if it's a bus, or

B) Contact the manufacturer of the truck and ask them for turning circle, etc.
