Arrived on time for pickup & was told I had to check-in by calling a phone number. Told to stage nearby but nowhere really to stage. Congested area since this warehouse is located close to the ports. Checking in was a bit challenging. Either they don’t answer or u get a busy signal. Gotta keep calling back to back to back to try & check in. Loading docks are tight & not really enough room to back in. Once loaded, gotta fill paperwork & sign numerous documents. Must present your D/L to check out. Loading times are pretty fast but warehouse location is horrible.

It's really packed and hard to know who's next in line to get loaded. Be courteous and respectful and you can get a can or two of red bull in shipping office. Try to park outside before entering the gate and walk on foot to guard shack for instructions

It's dirty Jersey. It's what you can expect. Tight turns, roads, restrictions, ect. So, with that being said this place is no different. But when it comes to unloading, I was in 2 hours before my appointment and unloaded in a little over an hour! That's worth 5 stars in my book!

They treat you like a person, not an employee. That's reflected in the benefits and how management approaches employees, no yelling and screaming about challenges, just collaboration and ideas. The office environment is very calm and comfortable to work in . It is a very challenging company due to the pace and ingenuity around every corner, which is awesome and helps you grow. If you apply yourself, you'll go somewhere. Yes, this is the company you want to come work for . Come join the Elite fleet !

Came here to pick up a loaded trailer. First I was told that my pickup number was wrong. Took me over an hour back and forth with my dispatch to confirm it was not so the people at the check in both gave me the wrong info. Then it took me 30 min to find a spot to drop my empty trailer since this yard is narrow and therefore a massive mess. Then 30 more min to find my loaded trailer BLOCKED by a bunch of other trailers. Had to beg the yard dogs to move all the other trailers. 2 hours later and I'm almost out of hours. Trailer still buried. What a joke!

Hello truckers, maybe this can help you, I was reading the reviews of this place and I was actually a little scared before I got here, but on the contrary, they gave me a door immediately and in 40 minutes it was empty so maybe I was lucky , but the staff was very kind to me, I will come back!!!
