    They take about as long as a grocery warehouse to load you only because everything is hand-loaded and nothing is on pallets. Good news, you can usually get an 8-hour break in on line 2. Bad news, don't forget to pack a lunch because they have no vending machines and there's nothing nearby within walking distance.

    I understand this won't affect most people here. I think they only ship with Swift, Schneider, Walmart and Celedon.
    Oh and the BoLs to fax over to the broker are 20+ pages. At $2/page that adds up, and no they don't have a fax machine you can use.

    I went there my first month with Prime, and by the time they actually loaded me, i was supposed to have delivered in PA already.

    Ive picked up there a few times its either loaded quick...or camping out...there staff has no organization according to the big Nigerian in shipping ...the upside is I get a 2stop drop one in northern Vermont other in upstate Ny ...beautiful ez breezy driving ...and a light load once in awhile is nice too...

    I don't think this location has a warehouse store. I picked up at another Mega Blocks location in the US (forgot where but I think in TX?) and they at least had a store where you could buy stuff.
