The rating is PURELY for the Employees!!! Proceed with Extreme Caution!! Set your tandems forward for tighter front end maneuvers but watch that swing. If possible take Route 2A/Massachusetts Ave South then Turn Left onto State St. to stage. (I was routed North on 2A so I made the Right turn onto State, it’s tight, swing wide and watch the U-Haul trucks parked on left of street. State is one way so use it all) ‘supposed’ to park on left but there was no room. I squeezed on the right and hopped out, because at end of building on the wall is a blue light (see pictures it’s circled) where there is a door and call box. Let them know you are here, a guy will tell you what to do. Basically you stay there until someone tells you to go up to Main st where 2 docks are. You will proceed up State and take a Left onto Windsor, you MUST use that corner lot can’t make the turn any other way. Watch for traffic, parked cars on right of Windsor infront of you and the last electric pole on the left, your trailer will come close. Then make Left onto Main. They guys will help direct you like in pictures, they will open your doors and stop traffic at your rear. You have to watch cyclists (lots) walkers, and idiot people who WILL try to go around you. Once you’re in the door slide tandems back. They will...

Employees are decent, but that's where the accolades end. The location, loading procedure, no parking (about 5 spots on state street but good luck finding a spot), traffic...

I've never loaded out of NYC before, but this has to be a doppelganger, I'm certain of it.

People running around, on bikes, across the street guy opens front door in his robe, picks up the paper while drinking☕️, watches with disdain as the incongruous tractor trailer disrupts everything. Blocking traffic, runners have to halt/jogging in place, dogs are told to sit.

Shipper is sandwiched between M.I.T and Harvard.

Been driving for many years and thought I'd cracked the code. This shipper clotheslined me from atop my high horse.

State street is used by the public for parking also (box trucks, tankers etc..). If there isn't any parking available on State street, where do you expect us to go? This is my #1 concern about this shipper.

The only way I'd accept another load here is if I got loaded on arrival, which is probably not happening. You have to meticulously plan for this shipper. It's better suited for smaller trailers, not...

The employees were extremely friendly and helpful once I got here. Getting in with a 53 footer was very challenging.

I took I90 east to exit 131 (Cambridge Street). Stay in the left lane after they split as the guardrail is really close on the right for an offtracking trailer. After the light, get in the middle lane and the road becomes River. Turn right onto 2A (Massachusetts). You'll need both lanes to make the turn even with the tandems slid all of the way up. Then turn left on State Street for staging.

It did take me 35 minutes from the exit to staging (1.5 miles) due to traffic, so allow extra time for that if you get here at...
