Miller Poultry

Facility info

CHECK-IN PROCEDURE Staging lot at 1035 Dorsey St (past railroad tracks, first right after traffic light) — not the main plant address. Security guard checks trailer and pickup number, assigns dock, you return to main building. Confusing entrance; many drivers initially turn wrong direction. WAIT TIMES Highly variable and unpredictable. Range from under 1 hour to 24+ hours. Fresh product loads prioritize over frozen and cause longer waits. Second shift reportedly slower than first shift. Product readiness is major factor — not facility speed. Staging lot wait followed by dock wait. Many extended waits (8-14+ hours reported frequently). First come, first serve system. Lunch break 9-10pm affects scheduling. OPERATIONS Live load only. Appointments often don't guarantee timing or dock assignment. Early arrival doesn't guarantee early loading. Called to dock when ready, then typically 30 mins to 1 hour to load. Bring pre-cooled trailer (20 degrees standard for mixed loads). Fresh vs. frozen product affects wait significantly. FACILITY Overnight parking available at staging lot with adequate space. Gravel lot — dusty when dry, muddy when wet. Tight maneuvering at plant docks with equipment moving around. Porta potty at staging lot; bathroom available inside if you ask. Docks poorly lit. Store across street. No food/water readily accessible at staging area. STAFF & ATTITUDE Mixed experience. Many reports of friendly, bilingual, professional personnel. Some reports of rude security staff at gate (attitude varies by shift and individual). Professional shipping/receiving clerks when engaged. Night shift guard noted as friendly. Reviews note "you get back what you put out." OTHER Chicken supplier (fresh poultry plant). Capable of loading early before appointment if product ready. Quality control issues noted in some reviews regarding product packaging/usable portions.
