*update after 2 year*<br>I came back. Look like the wait time got even worse. Checked in 130 for a 2 am apt. Went into the empty lot staging waiting for a call. Wokeup 5 am no call so i drove up to the guard again and asked whats going on . He was dead sleeping knockedout.. walked into recieving and asked whats going on then sec later someone called me for a door.. now at the door and god k ows how much longer to wait<br><br>Do not arrive early, receiving start 3 am, they will send you down the block to a dirty lot for staging until recieved call, once docked 2 hrs later pay lumper and leave! No restrooms! Overall u get some sleep
