    I came, I saw, I conquered.(at least today!!)

    Came in, found a chassis, had my loaded container put on, registered (first time there) and left in 1hr!!!.....and they said it couldn't be done!!!!



    Next time will probably be a 4 hr marathon, but , what the hell!!!

    WOW! Very impressive for that place. I avoided that place for 3 1/2 years and finally had to go a few months ago. took me 2 1/2 hrs in and out. That place sucks

    i not going to brag as i spent many hours at Harvey but once i brought a 40 chassie in to get a lift and found my box and was a 20 footer so i dropped my chs, found a good 20 chs and the crane was near my box and lifted it on, and i was outgated in just under 30 minutes. but i doubt i will ever repeat that again.

    Went there today, they were backed out almost to center st. 1 1/2 hrs. to get in, had my iso tank lifted on with in 15 min. and then back in line to get out, another 1 1/2hrs. Dont mind waiting while coming in theres kind of an order as to how that works. But trying to leave is a joke

    Yeah CN is about as bad as it gets, some times you get lucky though. They have been doing better with their chassis pool lately it seems. I swear the first time I went in their to pick up a grounded empty there wasn't a single one that wasn't riding the pins. They need to get some legit cranes but I guess that cheap mexican freight aint paying them enough.

    As opposed, say to the cheap Korean, Chinese, or Greek freight????

    The Chinese are rolling in cash man, same with the koreans. I dono bout the Greeks though. CN is the worst of the rails I've run but aside from them I only head into CSX and BNSF.

    Well, CN, NS, BNSF and all the UP but Rochelle,....no CSX ..yet...I must say, CN stacks up better than UP and BNSF in my book...and that's after a 5 hour marathon there last week....those were daily at UP G4....when I was pulling the HORRIBLE PACER loads!!!!!!!!!!

    So what, doesn't mean they pay any better!!!!...I must say, in my, admittedly limited experience, ZIM and CMA seem to pay WAY better.....than the Asians (Yang Ming, Hanjin, NYK and China Shipping)....
