Facility info
OPERATIONS Drop and hook standard — check in with delivery number, drop trailer, leave property Unload times highly variable: 30 minutes to 10+ hours reported Live delivery appointments strictly enforced — won't start until appointment time even if you arrive early Facility won't proactively notify you when unload is complete — you must check back every 30 minutes or risk extended wait Some pallets rejected with little to no communication until driver arrival FACILITY EXPERIENCE No overnight parking available No truck parking allowed in surrounding Amsterdam area per city ordinance Restroom access denied to drivers during extended waits — issue when stuck for 5+ hours Tight yard spacing Staff attitude mixed: some report friendly, helpful personnel; others report rude office staff Yard drivers operate aggressively — excessive speed and tailgating reported Bobtail waiting area dusty with no amenities EXPECTATIONS Plan for significant wait times on live unload deliveries (4-8+ hours common) Don't accept loads requiring live pickup within tight time windows — detention risk is real Have appointment number ready for check-in Expect no communication from facility — proactive follow-up required Some drivers report quick turnarounds (under 1 hour); others report 15-hour waits — inconsistency is the pattern Truckstops nearby available for breaks

One of the slowest places I’ve ever delivered to. My load was fewer than 20 light-weight pallets, yet it still took an entire day to unload.<br><br>I would not recommend coming here. One star is more than generous.<br><br>The staff who deal with drivers are genuinely friendly and professional, but the unloading process is extremely slow and is the biggest issue.
