Facility info

Appointments are strictly enforced — show up on time or expect late fees ($100 noted). Early arrival doesn't guarantee immediate service. Load/unload times typically 20–45 minutes once you get a dock door, but wait times to get assigned a door are highly variable — can be immediate or 2+ hours past appointment. Check-in opens 6 a.m. Operations run appointment-based; calling ahead recommended if running late. Overnight parking available with ample yard space. Portable restrooms outside near check-in; no indoor driver restrooms. Staff attitude is inconsistent — described as friendly and professional by many, but some report rudeness, especially regarding late arrivals. Personnel quality has improved in recent years. GPS navigation can be unreliable. Enter from MN 60 onto 165th Street, right onto 445th, follow around to building front. No access from Highway 52 despite what GPS says. Dock lighting in back is poor; slippery incline can make backing difficult. Summer months (ice cream season) see significant backups; fall and winter are faster. Paperwork/sealing procedures can be disorganized — verify seals and documentation before leaving. Facility is suitable for overnight stays — described as quiet with good parking space. Pre-set reefer to -20°F before arrival.
