Operator: Americold
Facility info
HIGHLY INCONSISTENT — ranges from 20-30 min loads to 14+ hour waits. Some days fast, some days brutal. Plan for worst case. Appointment timing unreliable — arriving early doesn't guarantee quick dock assignment. Waits of 2-6 hours before door assignment common. On good days, 45 min total. Live load operation — expect to keep reefer running while waiting (burns significant fuel). Overnight parking available in lot with room to maneuver. Opens 0730. Staff attitude mixed — generally polite and friendly on dock, but management can be aggressive about parking rules. Park at end by dock 13 facing exit; don't park near gate/docks. No signage to indicate this. Bathroom facilities available. Yard conditions decent — good backing room, though 1st Street entrance is tight. Realistic strategy: Plan for 8-10 hour break minimum. Bring food. Check in early but expect variable wait times before loading starts. Don't count on making time from this facility. First-come, first-serve loading (no pre-pulled order priority reported).
