Absopure water in Plymouth Michigan

man this place is a hole, I was here 2 days ago and had to go to 4 different lots to find the trailer, tonight my load was picked up already and the new load will not be ready for at least 2 hours. there is no room to park , little room to dock, and a driveway built for 4 wheelers with big rocks protecting the grass and killing tamdem tires for those who don't pay attention...

I've been there more than once and it is a hole and I always seemed to get there in the middle of the night. No room to manuver and next to impossible to find a hole to drop the empty in on a D/H.

You guys aren't kidding. Now I've never personally been there, but I (let the flames begin!) used to work at a freight broker, and we managed 5-7 loads a day out of there going to Columbus. It was a 24/7 nightmare. What's worse is that we were managing it CPU/collect, so we always had to provide the answers to the customer why their freight wasn't getting delivered on time. They always played the blame game whenever anything went wrong, even when they admitted to me on the phone that they screwed up or didn't have the freight ready, when we would have conference calls, they would always find a way to concoct the story to make it our fault. Drivers always had horror stories about the place too. Now that I'm going into driving myself I'm sure I'll find myself up there a few times...
