Driver reviews
They will take forever to unload you, don't book another load before you finish here, they will spent your entire day here, I got there at 10am for my appointment and they finish unloading me 4:pm my entire day lost there just waiting, no food no any type service in the area it's very risky.

SLLLLOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. OMG..they unload at a decent pace but then it takes hours to get your BILLS back .like hours... seriously HOURS....they have staging areas where you can take your 10 hour break so that should tell you something. Trust me you'll be here for at least 10 hours.
