    Wow! I've been to the Dart Container in Ada, OK several times with deliveries and it's been a great process there. Thanks for the heads up on this location.

    Glad to pass along information about places like this if it helps someone avoid the headache I’m experiencing.

    I've been to that location in Horsecave, KY and its ok as long as its a drop n hook otherwise agree they do tend to take a long time to load

    It was 10 hours,my dispatcher should NEVER have sent me there for a live load,it was almost 5 hours getting unloaded.Now we’ll see how cheap the broker is about the detention.
