Driver reviews
Lady at check in is absolutely terrible big attitude for no reason if you hate your job so much why even show up
FYI you can pay $60.00 to have them load your trailer and bring it back to the staging area. This is one of the tightest caves in the area.
Drop trailer in staging area with tandem forward, they take it inside cave,load it,then drop it back.
The people at the gate can be very strict. Before you arrive here, make sure to pre-cool your reefer to the assigned set point (e.g., -10). They will not load you until your trailer reaches the required temperature.
I need to know if the guards are employees by Smart Whse? Im human and do not appreciate tge treatment from these vial people. Who employees them?
