The exception says that sprinklers may be excepted where there is no "... storage or handling of combustibles." You may not have storage, but you sure do have handling. I believe the wording of the exception was very carefully chosen so that loading dock overhangs would still require sprinklers.

These are box trucks and they carry carpet. The carpets are really never exposed as they go straight from truck to warehouse. What say ye learned ones?
