Facility info

GPS/Navigation May not show on GPS — use Home Depot at 3900 S Brandon Rd Joliet IL as reference point. Ignore "Dead End" sign. Facility is on left after Home Depot on S Brandon Rd. Appointments & Check-In Live load appointments required. Must arrive early — guard shack won't release you until appointment time even if you're early. Check in with receiving after dropping trailer in designated spot. Yard jockey moves trailer to dock door. Wait Times Highly inconsistent. Range from under an hour to full day. Reports of 2 hours for 2 pallets, 6 hours for unloads, full-day waits for small loads (5 pallets). Some drivers report fast unloading. Delays after load completion — additional wait for yard jockey to pull trailer from dock. Operations New small fulfillment center with new staff. Drop and hook available. Office staff may take extended lunch breaks with no coverage. Facility Experience Staff generally pleasant/courteous (multiple mentions of nice employees, pleasant guard). Mixed professionalism reports. Some yard jockeys reportedly uncooperative. New facility — expect operational inconsistency. Specific Issues Significant staffing/workflow bottlenecks evident. Long delays between load completion and trailer retrieval. One report of restricted dock activities (ice removal from trailer). Office coverage gaps during lunch periods.
