Possibly. Dispatch needs the posted clearance, vehicle height, level, stall, entrance, gate, ramp and turn restrictions, key or neutral status, and property authorization before selecting an approach.
Does Merriam require an occupational license?
Merriam states that an occupational license is required for businesses located in or doing business within the city. This page does not claim that Tommy's exact entity currently holds one; dispatch must verify the applicable status before accepting work.
