Driver reviews
Small lot. Be prepared for a headache. Regular cars are parked too. No where to stage while waiting for a door. Trucks trying not to hit other trailers in front of their docks.
They will take forever unloading pallets and will leave your trailer full broken pallet wood.
Disgrace!
Apparently delivery appointments mean nothing to these people. Appointment was at 4 pm. Eight pm and no one has bothered to respond and let me know IF I'm even going to be unloaded.
