Facility info

Gates open 4am, some sources say 6am — call to confirm Early arrival pays off; show up before opening to get first in line Appointments often meaningless; many drivers get doors immediately regardless of scheduled time Unload times wildly inconsistent: 30 minutes to 6+ hours depending on load complexity and volume. Count process cited as slow by multiple drivers. Lumper fees mandatory — pay via phone (Capstone) or EFS/Comdata checks only. No card payments accepted. Street parking allowed overnight on Depot Road and side streets; stay on far right lane. Some conflicting reports on police enforcement — take your chances or plan for possible roust. No onsite overnight parking; some drivers reference off-site paid parking nearby (Brad's Discount Tire). Entrance is tight — difficult for simultaneous two-way truck traffic. Check-in process: security assigns dock door, fill out two forms, back in, walk paperwork to receiving office by dock door 1, wait for call when done. Restrooms and vending available. Staff attitude mixed: security consistently praised as friendly and professional. Receiving office has drawn repeated complaints — one person specifically cited as rude, dismissive, difficult with paperwork. Mask enforcement inconsistent at check-in window. Light conditions poor at night — wear safety vest. Facility is organized and clean. Plenty of backing space at doors. Get correct delivery number before arriving at gate to avoid walking back to truck.
