I've sent my driver's here a few times and the place in Scranton was never extravagant but atleast the Lumpers were good. They switched the Lumpers, it took an extra 2 hours to get unloaded because these scabs are slow and it has gone downhill from there. Get a new lumping service or let the drivers do it, and clean up the damn building.

I wish there was a way to give this place zero star. 1. Dirty nasty place 2. Rude service 3. They hate there jobs and take it out on the drivers 4. They ride up and down throughout the the warehouse without a pallet and waste drivers time. 5.lots of swearing and cussing as they go about languishing on the job. I guess what I'm saying this place "SUCKS"
