Louis that worked the night shift shouldn't work with people... zero communication skills seemed like he didn't wanna be here... Asked for milk for my coffee he just turned around and left... thought he went to get some more but he was just chilling... rude and lazy employee, the lady on the other hand was very pleasant, yelled welcome from across the floor while Louis was next to me and didn't say a word

Extremely tight!!!!!! I was stuck there for 40 minutes inching my rig through the tight space and unattended trucks in the way.
Satellite images will prove my point.
Do not go there if you are very long and/or you can’t make deep angles!!!
