C&S as an overall company is mean spirited towards it drivers and could provide unwarranted expense for the owner-operator.
C&S is dangerous. Very few of their docks supply DOT required blocks to chalk the trailer axe, and none that I know of have trailer bar locks. The C&S safety solution is to detach both trailer brake glad-hands, which in their defense is not too unreasonable even if archaic.
C&S is routine in overextending beyond the 2 hour limit without paying any sort of detention. It is not uncommon to be held 6 hours or so while the trailer is unloaded at the door without the least apology.
Most Drivers are essentially required to pay for lumper service--which is not cheap--because of "safety regulations"--steel toed shoes and "certification to use a pallet jack"-- that are virtually impossible to satisfy.
C&S doesn't reimburse brokers or carriers for lumper fees. Despite that this IS the customer facility, this company forces carriers (and brokers to my knowledge) to overlook such unanticipated expenses. Thus, it steals from the business it works with.
C&S ALL Warehouses NOT recommended
