Driver reviews
Limited over night parking, unloading time isn't bad, overall not a bad place
This place is pretty easy to get to just follow your trucker GPS you should be fine they have overnight parking if you have a delivery it's limited space just be mindful as soon as you turn on railroad it's literally right there big turn a tiny little guard shack that has a split entryway one for semis and the other one for cars you stuck before the fence and you check in with the security and you just go park and somebody in the morning will wake you up and put you at the door won't you at the door probably about 2 hours or so give or take and then you leave the way you came in it's pretty straightforward if you have large industrial size bags inside your trailer to separate and protect the load they apparently think we want to keep them or something even though we don't have trash cans so just be ready to keep your garbage or you know do whatever you want with those huge bags filled with air I look at it as it's part of the load they ordered it so it's theirs but you be the judge
Was in and out bout 30 with dry van
