Semi truck. Really nice ppl. Super fast load. Use street view. The docks are angled to the street. Not too difficult of a back but you will have to back either off of or across the street.

I have lived in a few different cities and states and Florence has bar-none the BEST and most responsive office and field team ever. The office always picks up the phone and is kind helpful and accommodating. The sanitation techs are also kind thorough and helpful. It's just so refreshing to live in a city where people care and are so helpful.
