Good and bad with this place.

The good is the location is very easy to get to, the security folks were really nice and pleasant (which makes a change from the grumpy people we can deal with), and the load time was very decent.

The bad (mainly) is the way you enter the facility (see pic with drawn line) and if you're not careful, the rail tracks & ground can do some damage to the lower bodywork of your truck, and there are few areas where there's a relatively deep drop off at some locations of the tracks, which will not be good if you end up catching them.

Terrible shipper. My driver arrived with a clean trailer and was rejected supposedly because there was red paint on the wall. The driver went to check and noticed it was just tape. When he went to tell them, they threatened to call the police. Then they told me they wouldn’t load him because the walls were made of wood which makes absolutely no sense. This is a...
