Driver reviews
5 hours to load 18 skids... Super tight lot, concrete bollards and power pole dead in the center of the lot, awesome place to get your truck hit. Dead end, tiny neighbourhood streets all around , where you have to somehow park to wait for a door, in an area completely surrounded by low bridges...If only the service was somewhat efficient, it might make the aggravation of getting there worthwhile, alas it's not the case... Avoid if you can. DISPATCHERS, AVOID SENDING A ROOKIE DRIVER THERE AT ALL COST, BECAUSE IT WILL COST YOU, GUARANTEED! UPDATE: Credit must be given where credit is due: I've been to this place a few times since my original review, one was pretty much in line with my original impression, but I must admit that the last couple of times have been much quicker. Both time, I was in and out of there within two hours. Still a hassle to get there, and the lot is still a mess to back into, but at least, the service has been much quicker... So I added a couple of stars!
👎👎👎👎no vengan a este infierno mucho trabajo para llegar cuidado con los puentes bajos y muy concurrido y suerte si encuentras parqueo para check
No room for semis. Park on street and check in. Old lady at check in window is reallllly rude she doesn’t know how to talk
After reading all the reviews I was really shocked. 1st time delivering here. The lady everone says is so rude, NOT! I guess you get what you give, the guys in docks, very nice. I do recommend coming in at night time if you can. From 78, take 21N to Murray St, turn right, very tight so make it wide!! Follow to Ave C. Turn right they are at the end. I come back out the same way. Park in the street.(overnight ok) At 7am take your paperwork up and check in with your driver lic. At times it can get tight.
