Driver reviews
Simple check-in. Arrived late and still was put right in a door. Check-in easy. Pull up to guard gate and a lady with an attitude is gonna ask for your PO# and license. After that you’ll be assigned a door immediately. Once you’re done getting loaded you’ll head to the shipping/receiving office near front gate for paper work. 2 minute process. The. You’re outta there. Arrived at 3 and was out like 4:30-45. Not bad. Also plenty of space to back in.
Super fast loading. Plenty of room. I would definitely come back.
Quick loading entrance is on the west side which is the first on the left when you approach the Bissell warehouse.
