Driver reviews
Absolutely horrible. Been unloaded of just 2 skids for almost 2 hours now but they aren't releasing my trailer as dock light is still red. I have other frozen product in my trailer to deliver elsewhere and these people here have no care in the world. Just talked to someone on a pallet lift and he couldn't care less. You can't even speak to someone when you try calling this place. Ridiculous!!!
Throw it all in the floor and make you clean it up. Do them before they do you.
