Driver reviews
Nasty, vile, disgusting porta John’s. Literally can’t even move inside it. Have to hold a mid hover squat to prevent your shorts/pants or legs from coming into contact with the toilet and 100s of other peoples urine and 💩 . When your done and exit you are drenched in sweat after the fact because it’s over 100F + in there<br><br>This should be a human rights violation. Having to use these nasty disgusting things.<br><br>It is more pleasant to 💩 in a grocery bag inside the truck.
Available overnight parking and they start check in 5:30am
Very slow unloading, dry van goods, it’s been 3 hours now, truck shakes every 15-20 min, started to unload about 1.5 hours after getting in dock. Don’t really want to come back here if this keeps going same way. No rest rooms for drivers.
Great place to unload
