The map makers don't take into account that some roads are only car-wide.
I watched a guy attempt to drive into a heavily secured area on my current worksite. I stopped him and told him where to go, his GPS was trying to take him to the back dock of the building. I'm not even allowed to go there, and I work there.

Exactly. It's partly on the GPS, partly on truck routes constantly changing, but it's 100% on the driver. The Rand Mcnally isn't going to lie to you. If you're unsure, pull the brakes, throw the 4 ways on, and check your map.
Also, G.O.A.L. doesn't only apply to backing into a spot. I can't tell you how many times I've walked a block or two just to see if I'd be able to maneuver my truck into an area.
