This is a good place for delivery on truck. Plenty space for backing and make u-turn. Staff informative and friendly. Otherwise, I don't understand why it's not enough restroom service on the site. A lot of semi trucks delivery, I deliver from Washington state and of course expect enough services. My concern about Nelson Rd. Very small local road for trucks connecting some big businesses and keeping in terrible condition, especially at the end. I drive a big combination and make me turns required very slow down and pass incoming vehicles. I see that Canadian Transportation department keeps highways
