Avoid if you can reefer must be exactly-10 or 250 charge 500 for late you I’ll get charged any chance they get 😂
If you enjoy wasting half your day waiting for no reason, this is the place for you.<br><br>I arrived at 3:00 a.m. so I could check in as soon as they opened at 4:00 a.m., because there’s usually a long line of trucks waiting. I checked in around 3:50 a.m. and was told to return to my truck and wait for a door assignment. They called me at 4:30 a.m. and assigned me a dock.<br><br>After that, the real waiting began.<br><br>I was told they would call me as soon as they finished unloading so I could pay the lumper fee. Instead, I sat there from 4:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. just waiting for the lumper fee to be sent. As far as I could tell, my trailer had already been unloaded around 7:00 a.m., yet they didn’t send the payment request until an hour and a half later.<br><br>To make matters worse, after I paid the lumper fee, I had to wait another full hour just to get my paperwork.<br><br>This facility is incredibly disorganized and has no respect for drivers’ time. They consistently keep drivers waiting for hours over things that should take only a few minutes. I wasn’t the only one dealing with this—there were several other drivers stuck in the exact same situation.<br><br>I would never recommend this place. If you have the option, stay as far away from this facility as possible.
DO NOT ARRIVE LATE TO APT they charged you $500 late fee plus a high lumper fee. Docks are extremely tight as you can see in the other pictures and a very high risk of getting hit by another truck.
