Facility info

Receiving/Check-in: Gates open 5:30 AM, receiving starts 6-7 AM. Use Google Maps GPS to reach facility — truck GPS won't get you there. Check in at gate with security; they assign dock door. Don't arrive before 6 AM or you'll be directed to dead-end street parking with no turnaround. Live load operations: Drop trailer or live load available. Generally fast turnaround once at dock. One report of 3.5+ hour wait, but most describe quick loading. Unloading can be slow — typical Tyson operation. Check-in/dock procedures: Present to security gate, receive dock assignment, proceed to dock. Employee comes out to collect paperwork, check temps, unhook air lines. Paper returned when complete. Easy backing — wide dock area accommodates tandems easily. Overnight parking: Street parking available outside gate before appointment. Local PD will ticket if you stay overnight or extended hours on street. No dedicated overnight lot — significant limitation. Dead-end street location means limited maneuvering room. Facility condition: Brand new location, well-maintained, spacious dock. Lacks lighting at night. Easy approach and backing. Staff/security: Generally helpful and professional. One report of rude/unsafe staff — isolated but noted. Location: Remote — coordinates N37.036638, W086.286484. Off Advantage Road. Use GPS carefully; standard mapping may not display address correctly. Truck stop services: Limited — one $25/10-hour paid lot in town. Food vendor on-site.
