Facility info

Appointment scheduling Strictly by appointment only — arrive exactly at scheduled time, not early. Security will turn you away if you're ahead of schedule, even 5-15 minutes. Check-in on foot takes priority over waiting in truck, so walk to office immediately upon arrival if multiple trucks are queued. Live load operations Live load only. Dry van docks have significant blind spots — requires careful backing. Two loaders on staff handle unloading. Actual wait times vary but facility frequently backs up to street level. Check-in & wait times Expect to park on street or in travel lanes while waiting for appointment time or dock availability. Walk quarter mile or more to check-in building. Multiple trucks often lined up on street. When backed up, trucks parked in roadway creating traffic obstruction — not a safe setup. Facility conditions No on-site parking. Street parking only, which fills with trucks. Blind spot docks present backing challenges. Staff Security is the consistent pain point. Multiple complaints about rude, confrontational approach — won't accommodate early arrivals, won't assist with maneuvering, inflexible on timing. At least one report of polite female guard and one polite male guard, but rudeness is the dominant pattern. Warehouse loading staff reportedly friendly and efficient. Bottom line Tight, inflexible operation with poor logistics. Only come if you must. Arrive exactly on time, check in on foot immediately, expect to wait on public street, watch the blind spot dock closely.

    Its the worst place I've never been before. The security guards are the worst number one. Greeting you with stone faces. Two days I've been waiting for them to allow me to get in. They turn me back.<br><br>They ask you to park down the street while the street is full of trucks. In every foot there is a truck. I met two different male guard. They all behave the same

    The appointment was for 10, I arrived at 9:00, they didn’t let me in, they said, come at 10:00, I arrived at 9:55, they didn’t let me in, because they said I had to be there exactly at 10:00. Dry-wan.

    Absolutely disoriented company, drivers have to wait on the street in travel lanes. By the way last picture is the spot for the driver where he or she needs to wait while getting loaded smh....

    The security guards are very angry, if you have an appointment you have to come on your appointment because they won't let you in and they tell you to make you leave and you have to come at the exact time, if you come half an hour early they won't receive you. And the truth is, I don't like this place. I lot complain about this security guard why they not take action on this complain
