Appointments often meaningless—waits of 3–8 hrs common even with scheduled slot; guard shack assigns door but unloading frequently delayed hours after assignment Lumper fees steep ($225–$385); additional $55–$100 penalty for arriving even minutes late to appointment; late fees reportedly diverted to staff pockets Tight dock backing procedure with yellow curb barriers creates maneuvering hazard; no overnight parking; staging area available early morning (5am opening) Staff highly inconsistent—some drivers report professional, helpful workers (Mike at gate, Victor, Diego praised); majority describe disrespect, poor attitude, language barrier at receiving window, slow paperwork processing (2–3 hrs post-unload common) Limited parking on-site; alternate lot across street at Shell/diner; facility small and congested with poor truck flow management
Driver reviews
Hello, As one of the many 1 star reviews, I wanna add this one too. Their rating should be way below 2.7 on average because they don't deserve that. When people google the place they need to know that this is the worst out of the worst to go and deliver here, everything you saw in the comments before this one is true and worse, just avoid it at any cost
7 hrs total to deliver 9 pallets
Nice ppl fast loading
One of the worst place to deliver load totally unprofessional people
Have a good practice! 5:30am parked in the yard. 8:15am had a door. 10:15am unloading finished. Pay lumber fee. Then gone…..
