If you come here after say 10 o’clock at night, don’t expect any service. The two girls that were working here did nothing. They don’t have showers online to reserve one or check availability. I call in to the truck shop and the girl said yeah we have showers but we don’t do online and I don’t know if they’re clean yet. so I waited 10 seconds to see if she was gonna say something else and total silence,nothing so I said can you go check if there are any clean and she said yes and then hung up I had to call back just to see if there were any clean showers. They don’t have parking online to check in order to reserve. They don’t do cash advances. After whatever time there’s I just don’t think they wanted to do anything because they sat there the entire time on their phones.
