Why checking with Google Maps is important.

Oh and another thing guys ... leverage the power of Google Maps and utilize the "user reviews" feature of noted locations and offer MEANINGFUL and accurate "user reviews" and notes at various shippers and receivers. Keep the information basic and accurate, you can "review" but also provide useful information for the next guy

Such as
early arrival?
parking available?
limited parking?
CB channel to Guard Shack
Check in Protocol
tips and heads ups
etc

But the typical "place takes forever to unload ... never going back" is not very useful for the guy who's headed there for the first time and typically is not the norm anyway.

This is example review from Dole in Atwater, CA

 

I'm sure there are plenty of "Coke in Tempe sucks" reviews already if it's truly a bad shipper/receiver with chronic issues.

 

I have the old Microsoft Notebook One on my computer and the old google map I had the ability to copy and past a section of it in this notebook, esp the strange, harder places to get to. It doesn't seem as easy to do so now that google went to the new mapping.
