Facility info
Appointments strictly enforced — won't check in earlier than 2 hours before appointment time. Arriving early doesn't guarantee early loading. Unpredictable wait times — ranges from under an hour to 6+ hours. Performance inconsistent day-to-day and shift-to-shift. Live load standard — loaders work from inside dock, you can't see loading process or verify load bars are reinstalled. Paperwork comes from guard shack after completion. Check-in process — guard shack handles all info and dock assignments. If staying overnight, check in at gate security, not door 1. No overnight parking — explicitly stated in multiple reviews. Truck stops in area frequently full. Limited backing/maneuvering space — tight yard layout, confined dock areas, concrete barriers noted. Construction ongoing on lower half of facility further reduces space. Bathroom available — located by door 1, can be a walk from other doors. Insulated overalls recommended due to cold storage temperature. Scale on exit — can check axle weights before pulling away. BOL issues reported — wrong BOLs given out; verify with broker immediately. Facility slow to respond to phone calls and emails for corrections. Load accuracy concerns — some reports of overloading, incorrect weights, loads placed on wrong trailers. Verify at scale. Staff demeanor mixed — gate/guard shack personnel generally friendly and helpful. Yard staff attitudes vary; some reports of dismissiveness. Late fees enforced — $150 fee mentioned for arriving 30 minutes late. Drop and hook available — reported as reliable and faster than live loads when functioning properly.
Driver reviews
Always friendly staff no over night parking can be tight nothing to bad
Дуже приємній персонал, чудова компанія рекомендую
In and out in 1 hour 40 minutes.
Good: People in the guardshack were friendly and helpful. I arrived 9+ hrs before my appt and they let me park onsite until the appt, when the warehouse calls with a door #. They also have a toilet by door 1.<br><br>Bad: No one in the warehouse seems to speak English and were unable to give instructions. The guy hung up the phone on me before I could ask questions, just blurted out a door number and click.... Back in doors closed and tandems back. They didn't tell me tandems back until halfway through loading, had me pull forward and point and start doing arm motions (due to not speaking English). I got in the dock an hour past my appt and they took over 3 hrs. Some other reviews mention space issues, which it's not tight but can be chaotic with a lot of drivers moving around all at once
