C & S Newburgh NY. Not what I was expecting.

Alrighty, I'm going to break from tradition here and say I had an extremely pleasant experience here last Wednesday. I've read the reviews here, talked to other drivers and was expecting the worst but got the exact opposite.

I arrived 2 hours early for my 11am and checked in. I figured, why not, the worst that could happen is the yak me wait for my appointment time. No biggy. Not the case at all. After I paid the extortion rate.....I mean lumper fee, they got me right in a door, lock in and started. The unload was quick, a little bit over an hour. Given I had a load of Barilla pasta which I've seen take 5 hours plus before due to the breakdown process, that was the most surprising. When I went inside to collect my paperwork it was all there ready for me. None of this "youre done now wait 2 hours for you paperwork to be printed" nonsense. Rehooked to my trailer and away I went. I pulled out of there at 1115.

Here's the best part. I went up to receiving to use the restroom while I was in a door and along the side of the building they had a tent set up with a pretty big grill going full tilt. They had a TON of food there, hots, burgers, a variety of sausage, potato and mac salad, dressing for burgers and every cookout condiment imaginable. Apparently they had a certain amount of accident free hours and this was the reward.

Anyway on my way back to the truck I jokingly asked one of the people sitting there if this restaurant needed reservations and was told to grab a plate and help myself. Say what??? I was told, "There's plenty to go around and summers almost over so enjoy". I did exactly that.

All in all I would have to say I would gladly deliver here again. It might have been a one off type of thing, a temporal vortex might have opened up to another dimension but I will have to wait until next time to find out.

 

I can definitely see how it could become a massive headache.

 

I seriously thought about it.

 

That's really all you can do at most of these places. Easier on the blood pressure lol
