So, I'm heading to International Paper in Georgetown, SC tomorrow after I get unloaded in Columbia. Most of my recent experience with paper plants has been drop and hook, or a live unload of roll stock, but haven't live loaded rolls at all in years other than a couple times when a trailer wasn't preloaded yet at a plant in Oklahoma I never had problems with.
As for this plant tomorrow, I made the dreaded mistake of looking at the google reviews, and now really not looking forward to loading there. I mean, I actually sit here and considered making up excuses to cancel the load on the broker, but couldn't bring myself to do that.
You drop your trailer here and they take it to load it, so simply leaving after getting frustrated becomes difficult at that point. Not impossible, but difficult.
Here is the place, complete with a 2.9 star rating, due to their slow loading times, and a road into the plant that appears to be a bit rough.
So, vote in the poll, how long will I be there?
On a positive note, I did see people mention that you could park overnight there, so there's that.....
