Facility info

Appointments: First come, first serve despite what brokers say. Gate opens 4:00-4:30am. Trucks line up from 3:00am onward. Late arrival = long wait. $250 penalty for missed appointments. Unloading: Highly variable — 45 minutes to 6+ hours. Most reports fall in 1.5-3 hour range. Lumpers required ($95-$350, cash/comcheck/EFS only — no credit cards). Paperwork can add significant time (up to 2 hours reported). Backing: Tight docks. Fence very close to dock doors. Space is roughly 101 feet from dock to fence for 53' tractor-trailer with extended sleeper. They alternate which docks are open to help, but inexperienced drivers struggle. Multiple drivers report taking hours just to get in/out. Once parked between other trucks, very difficult to exit. Parking: No overnight parking on-site. Nearby options: shopping center west of facility, Walmart ~1 mile down road, truck stop 8 miles away. Some drivers have parked on street before 4am gate opening without issue, but not guaranteed. Facility: Well-lit. Clean restrooms reported by some. Yard conditions vary (snow mentioned in at least one review). Staff: Mixed reviews — ranges from "very nice/friendly" to "rude/dismissive." Receiving office attitude inconsistent. Check-in: Gate delays common. Can take 30+ minutes after arrival to complete check-in despite early arrival.
