Take exit 137 off i5, go North to 12th St. E., T/R and T/R into the first driveway, stay to the right and go to the back of the building, park before the dock doors start and go check in at S&R through the man door left of the ramp. Nice people to deal with in the office and at the dock. I'd pick up here again without hesitation. Thanks, Lynden Transport!

Unfortunately another place that is union and an unloader who clings to the safety of a union. A union should instill work ethic and a fair standard. Not a hiding place for bad performance.

Great place to work! Do not befriend your boss because it might just backfire on you. All in all is not good practice! However keep it strictly business!!! You will be successful. Your personal life and work do not mix.

You’re just a number, heartbeat in the seat. You’ll never advance up into any of the top jobs the oldest drivers who have the best runs have been there between 25-35 years the best you’ll ever get to is middle of the call roster and be worked to death, Called in on days off, holidays, and no one cares.

Being home daily is good. Rotating schedule is annoying at times. Pay is not worth it for hauling 73,000 lbs of liquid on double tanks. Especially in the winter.

The terminal manager is the root of all that is wrong with working for this company. If and when he is removed, that place will thrive. But that is unlikely since upper management and corporate are tight.

Union controlled for drivers. The list for anything stars back at the top of seniority list every day so you have no home time in the summer and starve in the winter. Union reps are horrible at doing there jobs and take way to much money for it

I was hired as a new driver out of school, and they gave me the training and opportunity to grow in the field. Managegment was great, but could use a little more organization.
