Driver reviews
The staff are very honest and nice also they are fast loading but when you get there, by the way they don’t work by appt it’s fast come fast serve
These reviews are a lie I’ve been waiting to get loaded for 5 hours and it’s still 6 trucks in front of me this is ridiculous
Wish I could leave zero stars.<br><br>Came to get loaded. 8 am appointment. Checked in at 8:02 am.<br>4 1/2 hours later, got sent to a door.<br>1/2 hour after that, they woke the guy up who was in my door and I actually backed into it.<br>1 hour later (6 hours on site now), no one has been in the trailer and my light is still green.<br><br>I'm not coming back here again. I'm not buying their products any more either.<br><br>I won't give money to a company that treats professional drivers like this.
Nice guys but like most places under staffed and over booked. 60 loads going out today with 4 loaders. Arrived 0940 departed 1405. No hope for this place avoid at all cost
