Facility info
Appointment system not reliably honored. Scheduled times frequently ignored—expect significant delays even with confirmed appointments. Multiple reports of 3-6+ hour waits despite on-time arrival. Highly inconsistent load times. Range from under an hour to 30+ hours. Most common complaint: slow loading process. Several reports of improper weight distribution requiring reloading. Staff attitude is a major issue. Mixed reviews—some drivers report friendly, efficient personnel; others describe rude, dismissive office staff (particularly noted: inconsistent behavior among female office workers). Communication with drivers is poor; staff discourages check-ins for updates. Live load operation. Appointment-based check-in required. After loading, drivers must wait for trailer seal inspection before receiving paperwork and permission to leave. Sealing delays reported (several hours in some cases). Overnight parking available but limited. Concrete pad with storage trailer serves as designated lot. Free parking. Bathroom situation is inadequate. Only porta-john available (reported as dirty, spider-infested, fly-infested). Not suitable for basic hygiene needs. Drivers directed to nearby truck stops instead. Facility conditions. Yard described as dirty in some reviews; ample backing/maneuvering space noted in others. Cold storage operation. Hours: Mon-Fri 8am-1am, Sat 4pm-12am, Sun 4pm-12am. BOL issues reported. Some drivers denied signature confirmation on delivery documentation.

Lady from Shipping was nice but they dont have bathroom for truckers! I was asking if I could wash my hands because of grease. The man who was fixing for my docs, you could go to the truck stop? Really? My trailer and truck waiting to finished loading speedway was 1mile just to wash my hands! That’s ridiculous! He handed me a sanitizer.
Easy check-in, plenty of space to maneuver and helpful staff. Fast loading too. Thank you.
what a good experience, came in ~2 hours before appointment, checked in, got a door in 30 min, got loaded and went on a road 20 min before my appointment time!!! Good job guys. plenty on parking space. nice staff.
Checked in early. All docks sat empty for over an hour. Received door hour after appt and was loaded right before they closed. Plenty of parking. We are not good enough for a bathroom though. Have to use a hundred degree fly infested porta Jon.
Extremely slow, can’t even load 2 trucks in 2hrs, get new workers
