Facility info

Wait times are highly variable and often excessive — ranges from 30 minutes to 12+ hours for unload. Most reports cluster around 5-10 hours. Some drivers report being done in 1-2 hours, but these are exceptions. Live load appointments frequently delayed — drivers arriving early or on time commonly wait 4-8+ hours past appointment time before unload begins or completes. Drop and hook available — trailer drop-off is quick (under a minute reported), but unload times still unpredictable once dropped. Security/guard shack attitude inconsistent — some drivers report friendly, efficient check-in; others describe overly strict or aggressive behavior. One documented incident of driver refused entry after mechanical breakdown at gate. Overnight parking available — dirt lot across from facility entrance, holds approximately 10-15 trucks, described as organized. Bathrooms accessible — located near trucker entrance by trailer drop area. Staff professionalism varies widely — reports range from "super helpful and friendly" to "don't care about drivers' schedules" and "play dumb" about delays. Some yard personnel described as reckless/aggressive. Yard operations issues — trailer availability problems for some carriers; yard dogs reported speeding and not following rules. Actual load/unload times are fast — 25-30 minutes typical when doors are available; delays are in facility queuing, not the work itself. Unpredictable performance — same facility produces drastically different experiences between visits and drivers.
