Load/unload times all over the map — 30–45 min fast runs, but also 5–6 hour waits; heavy delays when backing to dock Appointment scheduling meaningless — show up early and get held anyway; come late and still get in fast; don't expect to dock at your appointment time Scotlynn shipper loads overweight — overloaded trailer axles for California; staff dismissive when flagged; told drivers to deal with it Monday; broker won't pay layover Staff friendly and professional — consistently praised across reviews Overnight parking extremely limited — 3–4 spots max on west side past steps; truck stop 1.5–6 miles away Plenty of yard maneuvering room — unless KB Transportation is blocking it Washout receipt required — bring one before arriving
Driver reviews
Not a bad place but very small and cars in your way while trying to back into place, KB transportation thinks they own this place all in the way
Made it to appointment early and was trying to back in to doc 8 and got stuck in the snow. The guys where great in helping me get out and everyone was friendly. Unloading took 30 minutes and was given a door as soon as I checked in.
Check in at office inside front center of the building. Park infront of assigned door and wait for dock person to come check seal. Only takes 30 to 45 minutes to unload once your backed in. Glad hand gets locked and un locked and pick paperwork back up in the office.
