Driver reviews
My appointment was at 10am I checked in at 07:00 waited in the staging area for an half an hour, went to my door and was unloaded within an hour. The only people contact was the Guard.
This place was straight to me overall. The guard guy was nice and polite came out got my paperwork checked my temp bills and seal told me to come in and park next to the trailers to the right and he would be over when they clear out the trucks in the back. I went back to door B yes it is a little tight getting back just take your time go slow watch your tandem as u come on around toward the back. It is a little tight to back but I'm a rookie and I did it u can too! Didn't take to long for them to come out got paper work I broke seals with the help of on worker cause I didn't have any wire cutters again rookie here. But I backed in and soonlu after they began unloading me. No over night parking or early arrivals camping out until time and not anywhere locally close that I found to park that was near by.
Excellent
