Liberty, MO | Being a farmer and grain hauler, I have a Volvo 630, sleeper cab on 221 inch wheelbase and a 40 ft hopper. Lots of places I load are 100 yr old elevators, and on farms also that aren't trucker friendly. If you have any doubts about the drive way, make it BIGGER, lots of truck have a terrible time going where I go because of trailer length, and long wheelbase. 300 inch plus inch set forward steering axles takes lots of room to navigate. Make it big enough so drivers will want to come back to your location. I have known some truckers that after one trip, won't come back because of a tight situation.
edit, Set the gate back far enough to allow a trailer to get off the road, and hinge the gate to go into your field. Just my opinion. Have a GREAT day.
