Facility info

Appointments: Check-in 4 hours before appointment allowed. Can stage in bullpen while waiting. Only by-appointment receiving. Check-in/door assignment: Generally quick at guard shack. Gets you door assignment upon arrival or shortly after. Staging area available for early arrivals. Unloading: Highly variable — ranges from 35 minutes to 8 hours. Most common: 1.5–3 hours. Lumper fee required (typically $180). Some reports of slow lumper pace or counting individual items. Paperwork: Significant pain point. Wait times range from 10 minutes to 4+ hours after unload complete. Staff sometimes doesn't notify drivers when ready — you may need to check in person. Some locations have self-service printing. Overnight parking: Not allowed, no exceptions. Even with large lot available. Will direct you off-site (Chevron nearby, fields, etc.). Major frustration point for drivers running low on hours. Guard shack: Inconsistent experience. Some guards described as friendly and helpful. One female guard consistently reported as rude and dismissive to drivers; attitude issues with a few other security staff. Engine-off policy strictly enforced at entry. Facility: Large, organized, spacious with good backing room and staging area. Clean. Restrooms available inside office. Staff: Mostly courteous. Some standout professional staff members noted. A few negative personalities referenced repeatedly. Overall: Delivery itself typically efficient. Main delays are paperwork processing and driver communication. Acceptable for quick turnarounds if paperwork doesn't bottleneck.
