Facility info

Appointment & Check-In Appointments strictly required — don't arrive early expecting early service. Check in at Door 19 (pickups) or Door 101 (deliveries). Staff will hold you to appointment time, sometimes refusing early arrivals. PO number needed. Receiving until 5pm, shipping until 11pm. Load/Unload Times Highly inconsistent. Best case: 20-40 minutes. Common: 2-3 hours. Frequent complaints: 4-8+ hours. Many drivers report waiting hours with minimal activity — pallets loaded slowly with long gaps between. Faster service sometimes available if you hit a good shift, but unreliable. Being on time for appointment helps; missing appointment results in significant delays. Operations Live load facility. Get assigned door immediately upon check-in. Second shift arrives at 2pm. Loading pace extremely variable — appears tied to staffing/personnel on duty. Facility Overnight parking available along entrance/street (not inside — staff will wake you at night to move you). Ample backing/maneuvering space. Restrooms at Door 19 (shipping office). Small vending machine. Staff attitude mixed: some friendly, some indifferent to wait times. Communication poor — staff doesn't proactively update drivers on delays. Safety Employee vehicles zip around semis during backing operations, creating blind spot hazards. Bottom Line Unpredictable facility. Can be quick or eat your entire day. Strict on appointment times. Bring food and patience.
