Facility info

Wait times: Consistently long and unpredictable. Most common range 6-14+ hours, with some reports exceeding 17-20 hours. Multiple drivers report being told "a few more hours" repeatedly, only to wait much longer. Appointment times appear largely meaningless — some wait 10+ hours despite arriving on time or early. Door assignment delays: Significant bottleneck. Drivers often wait hours just to get assigned a dock door, even when doors appear visibly available. Once in a door, loading itself typically moves faster (30 minutes to a few hours). Live load vs. drop-and-hook: Live load waits are severe. Drop-and-hook yard is tight with limited maneuvering space for 53-foot trailers — yard dog assistance sometimes needed. Check-in: Fast (15-20 minutes). Have PO number, driver's license, truck and trailer plate numbers ready. Enter from east side (1100 Italian Drive). Park at designated check-in area, then move to back lot to wait for phone call with dock assignment. Docking requirements: Slide tandems to rear, disconnect red air line. Trailer doors open from inside building — keep yours closed. Overnight parking: Available in back lot, spacious and easy to access. Facilities: Clean bathrooms, vending machines. Scales on-site but reportedly not certified for overweight loads — loads frequently run 35-44k lbs, sometimes over legal limits. Check weight carefully before leaving. Staff attitude: Generally friendly and professional. Does not change the operational reality of extended waits. Load readiness issues: Products sometimes not fully prepared even at appointment time. A few fast experiences reported (under 2 hours), but these are exceptions, not the norm. Staffing/management: Appears understaffed or poorly organized. Drop trailers loaded before live loads, creating priority backups.
