Driver reviews
Little tricky on that road coming in but GREAT FACILITY..Quick unloading and Great employees ..would definitely go here again
I arrived for delivery a day earlier, and they accepted the load. Thank you so much for helping save my time and reefer diesel.
Drivers you can US 19 off of US 460 and follow it to 102. Much better route than taking 102 only. Still have the 2 sharp curves. They said that they were open on Sundays until 1400. But when I got here at 1330 they were closed. The business hours on the gate is not the same on Google. Sundays, they are open from 0600-1000. No overnight parking. But theirs a little parking lot across the street that has 1 or 2 spots the trucks.
Don't get the load here early there's no parking. There's not even a gas station that has truck parking.
