Driver reviews
If I could give this place zero stars, I sure would they give me a door and there’s a truck in it. I finally get a hold of the shipping office and they told me to go to another door that the light doesn’t work. I have not felt anybody in the truck for over an hour. The gate is shut. I don’t know what’s going on. No communication whatsoever. I finally get somebody at the door and they tell me they’re still waiting on some product which is fine but I arrived at 5:30 PM. It is 3 AM at this time. I’ve been here for a while. I would hope somebody would communicate with me to tell me what’s going on but Drivers time doesn’t matter to anybody at this establishment
Friendly people working here. But anyway little unorganized. Takes them a while to get you unloaded At least for dry Vans.
Great Staff Quick Unloading. A Little Tight to Park and Wait, But Ample Enough. Thanks -Mongoose
