Safe Haven-Sumner, WA Terminal

The Sumner, WA is a welcome sight when you go from truck stop to truck stop and they are full.  This is a full service terminal that is primarily used by Intermodal.
The trailer and tractor shop were open late the prior evening and were very friendly.
The driver breakroom is nice and clean. 
 This is the main dispatch room.  Like every other intermodal facility in the west, the managers work in a bullpen setup and are easily accessible to their drivers.  
 The yard quality is a constant battle.  We are located near a river and water quality is an issue.  The chat rock yard is not the best option for a quality surface. 
 
Containers are even worked on outside of the shop.
 
Edwina and I debated dropping a line in this fishing hole and seeing if we could catch lunch.  She asked me if it was true that people "noodled" for catfish down in the south.
