Respect their appointment system and don't show up early. Budget extra time and come prepared to sit in the sleeper if needed.
Driver reviews
The only reason they lost one star is because the property is so severely tight. That being said -do not come before your appointment! Their system here is so specific and so severe because it is so small even a single truck that does not belong here will make everything so much worse. Get to the gate on the passenger side there's a small CB radio that's how you let them know you're here. You need your pick-up number that begins with 077 usually. At that point you come in and they will come to your truck to give you instructions. When it's time to load you disconnect and they will put your trailer in a door you do not have to do it yourself. Make sure you have straps or load locks in the trailer. I had to be pre- cool to 34 I don't know if that's the same for everybody. I will update my load time etc if I remember I just wanted to make sure I got this part.
