Facility info
OPERATIONS Appointment scheduling strict but flexible — some drivers reported acceptance when significantly late, same-day rescheduling available Gate security efficient — no wait reported at gate house Unload times highly variable: 45 minutes to full trailers, 1.5-2 hours typical, but 4+ hours also reported for partial loads Dock staff sometimes slow on paperwork processing — delays getting out even after unload complete Be on time regardless — facility enforces appointment windows FACILITY EXPERIENCE Overnight parking: 2.9 miles away at truck stop with McDonald's (no on-site parking) Yard conditions: empty trailer lot is dirt — becomes muddy mess after rain Staff attitude mixed but leans positive — described as friendly and professional by majority, though isolated reports of rudeness Gate staff responsive and hardworking Staff at receiving described as helpful and willing to work with drivers on logistics issues BOTTOM LINE Highly inconsistent operation. Fast unloads possible (under 2 hours) but 4+ hour waits also common. Gate moves quickly. Staff generally cooperative. Plan for long wait and bring patience. Don't rely on tight scheduling — this facility can derail connections.

Not the typical DC experience. I, or any driver I know, never said: “Gee what a great Wal-Mart DC (distribution center). Can’t wait to go back.” That is, till now. What a great group of guys and gals. Considering I was an hour late for my appointment, they accepted me without any negatively often associated with customers who have expectations of timely delivery for their orders. Then, thanks to my: ABSENT, INCOMPETENT and TOTALLY CONFUSED dispatch, I didn’t have the correct appointment numbers. Tried calling all my dispatchers, no answers. Most customers would invite me to come back later with the correct info. These guys researched and found the missing numbers. Moving forward, there’s specific procedures, but they’re explained thoroughly. I didn’t wait too long for unloading either. Everyone was more pleasant than my company deserves.
July 13, 2026. Appointment was at 8:15; I arrived at 7:30 and parked at the dock at 8:00. It’s now 12:00, and I’m still waiting for the call to pick up my paperwork. They really need to organize their process better.
