Operator: Tyson Foods
Facility info
OPERATIONS Drop and hook available—paperwork in box on fence. Overnight parking available but limited (dirt yard). NOT 24/7 FCFS despite what brokers may claim. Closed Sundays; do not accept Sunday appointments. Single yard jockey operates the facility. Live unload available but slow and unreliable—staff may not properly document live unload requests. Tyson company trucks prioritized over broker loads and other carriers. Wait times consistently 10+ hours; some drivers report 16-24 hours. Early arrival doesn't improve wait times. FACILITY EXPERIENCE Yard conditions poor—filthy, not well maintained, mostly unpaved/dust. Only porta-john available; no indoor bathrooms or facilities. Staff attitude consistently negative and dismissive. First shift reported as rude. Yard jockey described as uncooperative and lacking urgency. Facility location difficult to find—on P Street, off GPS routing. Recent improvement to odor issues noted. Overnight parking extremely limited with poor conditions. OTHER NOTES Chicken processing plant. Broker loads deprioritized heavily. Own-trailer issues reported (sent to wrong locations instead of providing alternative trailers). Not recommended for owner-operators due to yard conditions and wait times. Multiple drivers report avoiding Tyson loads entirely due to this facility's performance.
