Facility info
OPERATIONS Live load or drop and hook available depending on carrier agreement. Appointment scheduling required; arriving early doesn't guarantee early loading. Strict temperature requirements: trailer must be -10°F minimum at check-in to get a dock assignment, -15°F preferred. Won't load if trailer is warmer. After loading, trailer must reach -5°F before you can leave facility — this is enforced at the gate. Slide tandems at guard shack upon entry, not in the yard. Security inspection of trailer for cleanliness and odors is mandatory; trailers with odors will be rejected. Reefer fuel must be 3/4 full minimum. Drivers marked late if reefer doesn't meet temperature specs, even if you arrive on time. Wait times highly variable: 30 minutes to 22+ hours reported. Live loads commonly take 8-15 hours. FACILITY EXPERIENCE Overnight parking available. 24/7 restroom access. Yard is paved and clean. Staff attitude generally friendly and professional, though some reports of staff rigidity on policy enforcement. Breakroom with vending machines and microwave. Parking lot spacious. Cell service spotty. Ice cream facility — strict protocols for frozen product handling. Do not slide tandems in yard or you risk ban from property. Back carefully; staff may walk behind trucks at night without adequate visibility. A few reports of staff taking breaks during loading operations, slowing process. COMMON ISSUES Pre-cooling trailer is non-negotiable — not doing so adds hours of wait time. Summer heat makes temperature management difficult. Weigh ticket accuracy has been problematic; verify your load weight. Some drivers report overloading issues requiring rework. Preloaded trailers sometimes arrive on wrong carrier's equipment, causing transload delays. Temperature requirement strictly enforced at exit gate even after short drives cause warming.

Не беріть звідси грузи!!!! Такого ідіотизму я ще не бачив. Вони тобі виставляють чардж на 255 доларів якщо у тебе температура при прибутті вище ніж +40 градусів, потім ставлять тебе на парковку і 8,5 годин ти чекаєш і наморожуєш свій трейлер, щоб потім відкрити двері, випустити все холодне повітря і вони починають тебе вантажити при температурі яка підіймається до +35. Я витратив весь шифт просто тупо чекаючи двері. Мій апойтмент був на 13:00, а почали грузити тільки о 21:15. Ще невідомо скільки будуть грузити і в них тупорила фішка, ще чекати температуру після завершення. Коротше кажучи це повна шляпа. Брудно, неввічливі працівники, купа витраченого часу і нервів. Не їдьте сюди
no comments… my dear truck brothers
They charge you when you’re late but I was not. I came an hour early before the appointment. My appointment was 7 PM. It’s now 11 PM still no Door and they said it will take 3 to 4 hours to get you at the dock is there any way we can charge them back per hour?
check-in time is quick and then you go to the stage in area refer unit has to be -5 in 100° temperature and they will charge you $255 for that waiting myself 4hr then you waiting in the door for 4 hours to load and to top all that you have to get it back down to -5 again before you leave WOW I Will AVOID 😡
My appointment was 13.00, came at the gate 12.50, checked in in office 13.07, and…….they charged “late fee” $255.<br>But they loading really fast👍<br>Next time I had delivery here, they unloaded me almost day earlier👍 Overnight parking available.
