Facility info

Check-in is quick (5-30 min) but trailer must be clean and pre-cooled—security inspects both at gate Appointment times are inconsistent—some drivers get docks immediately, others wait hours past appointment Live load operation; dock assignment varies wildly (5 min to 15+ hours after check-in) Loading speed is unpredictable: ranges from 1.5-2 hours to 12-14+ hours at the door Staff won't give ETAs or updates on load status—posted sign tells drivers not to ask Paperwork/checkout delays common (30 min to 3+ hours after loading complete) Temperature management issues: doors open during load causing pre-cool loss; facility blames drivers afterward Drop-and-hook option available if you're willing to leave trailer and wait for callback Overnight parking available; bathrooms and vending on site Security/gate staff attitude mixed—some friendly, some described as rude or overzealous Facility smell from chicken processing is strong No trailer wash available on-site; closest truck stop ~2 miles away Large yard with good backing space Detention pay varies by broker (some brokers pay $0) Operates 24/7 but production doesn't start until 10pm some days—verify with shipper first Best case: 1-2 hours total. Typical case: 6-8 hours. Worst case: 14-24+ hours Take this load only if paid detention or guaranteed compensation
