The porta potty is coming Tuesday. What do I need to have ready for the delivery?

Our bathroom remodel starts next week, so I'm renting a standard portable toilet for the first time. It's scheduled for delivery on Tuesday. My driveway has a slight slope, and we usually park both cars there. The rental company mentioned the driver needs truck access to drop it off. I'm not sure if I need to clear the whole driveway or just a spot. Should I put down a pallet or something to level it? Also, how close does the truck need to get? I'm worried about blocking the neighbor's driveway. What exactly should I have ready for Tuesday morning?

Clear your entire driveway and leave it empty on Tuesday morning. The vacuum truck needs to back in and maneuver, and it needs at least 25 feet of clear, straight-line access to the placement spot. Do not block your neighbor's driveway; the driver will not park illegally or obstruct access. You do not need to provide a pallet. The driver carries wood blocks to level the unit on your slightly sloped driveway. Choose a spot that is stable, not muddy, and away from overhead obstacles. The standard unit weighs about 200 pounds empty and is roughly four feet by four feet. Once placed, keep the area around it clear so the service truck can reach it on pump days. Your rental includes weekly service, which is the norm for a construction site.
