Facility info

Wait times: 5-26+ hours common. Load frequently not ready by drop-dead time. Appointment times not honored. Some drivers report in-and-out service if doing drop-and-hook, but unpredictable. Overnight parking: Available but described as dirt lot across street. No facilities access — bathrooms 0.5 miles away at gas station (requires bobtailing). No breakroom, food, or driver services on-site. Employees sometimes block truck entrance/parking areas. Facility layout: Single lane in and out creates bottlenecks. Narrow entrance with immediate hard left turn. Tight yard with equipment in the way. Congested with employee and scrap metal facility traffic. Address listed as Hasty Street, not Secrest Ave. Check-in/gate: Slow guard shack, especially weekends. Guards don't always call when load is ready despite taking phone numbers. Long lines at gate. Yard conditions: Tight, cramped, dirty. Rails and obstacles everywhere. Difficult to maneuver large trucks. Staff/operations: Inconsistent communication. Shipping department described as disorganized and rude. Some staff noted as nice. Load rejections reported due to lack of storage space. Other: On-site scale available (can do axle-by-axle but described as "gross"). Some reports of missing load locks. $200 pay only covers first 5 hours of wait time. Drop-and-hook available but not standard. Bottom line: Expect significant delays, tight maneuvering, zero driver amenities, and poor communication. Plan for extended wait with your own food/supplies.
