Driver reviews
One of the worst places to pick up. Gps directs you to a dead end. No bathrooms. Arrive 8 hours early, only to experience 18 hours of waiting on PRE LOADED deliveries that were scheduled literal weeks in advance, once load is finished, feel free to climb up the hill, take a right onto a one way single lane street, and find your load parked on the corner, where the only way out is a left to a gate that is padlocked with no entry. Obstruction of a commercial route is a 750 thousand USD fine and grounds for a halt of operations, Tysons. Get your shit together, you're costing yourselves, my broker, and most importantly myself, a lot of money
I don't know how much they are paying for people to leave a good review but this place is a dumpster waiting for 7 hours whent to ask for my trailer all this person seems to be as shaking if you have a reflective vest didn't know anything and only says if I don't call you don't have a load yet o and they don't even have a portal putty for the driver to use
Shit place 18h to load u up
