CFM or other ltl guys... Does anyone know what this is on roll up doors? I've always seen these and wondered what it is...

Let me guess, either a rain gutter for the latch (probably not). Door stopper so the door doesnt retract all the way into the ceiling. Possibly a handle to allow easier opening from a Dock area. Could even be all three.
Just guesses. Any of them right? (I deal with swing doors).

With the shape alot of roll up doors are in, maybe it's used to use the forks on the forklift to help open the door.

Not sure if that's what it's for, just an idea.

Thats a thought, for "another" use. Although I can see a careless dock worker running the forks right through the doors.

Hmmm....careless dock worker....must be where all those fork marks in the freight comes from

I can also see them being used by the driver, while standing on the ground to use the "lip" as leveage to "push" the door up, rather than try and lift the door with the latch.

I think we are going to need an 'spert to anwer this question.
