McLane Southeast

Facility info

Appointments: Strict time windows—arriving even 15-20 min early may get you turned away. Reschedule requests can take 2-3 weeks. Late arrivals (1+ hr) face refusal and rescheduling penalties. Check-in: Long lines at guard shack—expect 1-2 hours just to check in. Guard shack staff quality varies widely; some described as friendly and helpful, others as rude and antagonistic. Dock operations: Drop and hook with lumper labor. Extremely tight backing—blind side dock (#29-31 reported as best). Multiple incidents of drivers hitting adjacent trucks. Helper available at dock but go slow regardless. Docking itself usually quick once checked in. Unload times: Consistently slow. Most loads take 6-8+ hours from dock assignment to paperwork completion. Even small partial loads report 3-4 hour minimums. Unloading pace described as glacial (1 pallet per 30 min reported). Lumper fees: $240-$460 depending on load size. Paperwork delays: Major complaint—can wait 2-5+ hours after unloading completes and lumper fee paid before receiving BOL/receipts. Critical issue affecting next load scheduling. Overnight parking: No on-site overnight parking. Circle K truck stop directly across street has ~12-15 spots (fills up). Lot is very tight for maneuvering. Facility condition: Outdated, cramped, disorganized. Described as "third world warehouse." Old and run down. No bathrooms on-site for drivers. Tight lot with narrow parking spaces. General: Multiple reviews suggest avoiding unless absolutely necessary. One of worst McLane locations. Works better if you only have a few pallets, arrive on time, and have full day available.
