    Delivered there this morning, was pretty happy with them. They have parking just outside the facility, go in, check in, get your door, hand in your paperwork. They call you when you're done. The ladies in shipping/receiving were pleasant and I had a 9 am appointment, got me in my door at 7, done at 9 but I fell asleep. Woke up at 11, she said no problem you probably needed it. Went back out to the lot to finish my break. Great place and I appreciated being there.

    I like that place also. They unloaded me even though I was 4 or more hours late once.

    Forgive my ignorance, but why can't other places conduct business like that? I mean, I have read horror stories here about delivery wait times and it just seems, at those places, the people are idiots. Is it as simple as that?

    Didn't like the place. Was there on time but 2 drivers ahead of us, each behind me in line with same company admittedly were over 5 hours late and they were unloaded first.

    Right in my neck of the woods. Maines isn't too bad, can be challenging with a long rig as they park their trailers opposite the dock doors. Darden just down the driveway a bit is even nicer, and will often unload you as early as 0300 (when they open) if you're there.

    I used to deliver to Maine s usually 1 or 2 times a week. Those people got to know me pretty well. I rolled up to the gate with the 4am appointments when mine was at 7am or later, and usually around 4 40am I m back in the dirt lot across the street

    I used to deliver there pretty regular when I was on as a casual with Frito Lay in Binghamton and thought they sucked........but, that was a long time ago so maybe they have improved..

    I agree, something has changed there, but it's been a decade. I would have rather gone to P&C than Maines back then.
