Commercial Driveway Widening for Semi-Truck Access

The width of your business’s driveway is a minor but massively impactful detail. While 18-wheeler traffic might not be the first thing on business owners ’ minds when choosing a business location, driveway width and durability will quickly play an important role for deliveries and freight activity when large trucks start to roll in consistently. 

At Chattanooga Concrete Co., we specialize in commercial driveway widening and concrete driveway extensions to accommodate semi-trucks and delivery vehicles. Whether you’re managing a warehouse, retail distribution center, or manufacturing facility, we’ll ensure your driveway is wide, durable, and built to handle the load.

How Wide Should a Driveway Be for Semi-Truck Access?

A too-narrow driveway will create a bottleneck, slowing down business and posing a threat to both your property and the drivers. If your truck delivery and shipments struggle to pull into your business location, you know it’s time to widen your commercial driveway.

Ultimately, the ideal driveway width depends on your property layout and traffic volume, but here are our general recommendations:

• Minimum width: 14 feet (for occasional truck access)

• Preferred width: 20–24 feet (for frequent truck deliveries or two-way traffic)

• Turning radius: Adequate room for turning, especially near entry/exit points or docks

Our team at Chattanooga Concrete Co. will evaluate your site and help you determine the optimal dimensions for safe and efficient access.
