Describe where the truck can stage

Driveway, alley, garage, metered curb, loading zone, and cross-street details are more useful than saying parking is difficult.

Add garage and clearance notes

Parking structures, podium garages, steep driveways, and coastal apartment lots can limit truck access, so height clearance and loading alternatives matter.

Mention the carry path

A legal loading space still may be far from the door. Add stairs, hallway length, courtyard distance, beach-area distance, or steep paths.
