Driver reviews
They will take you early for delivery, in my case 2 hours before and yes there is overnight parking
Fast unloading Live load delivery 8 hour before accepted
15 pallets 7 hours unloading 🤮
Very bad staff at check in they are rude 5 people inside check in and they aren’t professional, they don’t know about truckers they don’t respect, waiting inside check in 1 hrs since they talking a big man and a too much talk lady is talking like no one is here waiting for check , I was there 1 hr check in only And 5 hrs to get unloaded Need to replace these people at check in Give them 0-star all truckers
