Facility info

WAIT TIMES & THROUGHPUT Wildly inconsistent. Some drivers report 45 minutes to 2 hours total time. Others report 9-12+ hours waiting for a door, let alone loading. Frequent multi-hour delays past appointment time. Depends heavily on day/shift and load type. Come prepared for extended waits. APPOINTMENTS Required. Early arrival (2-4 hours) sometimes gets you a door immediately, sometimes doesn't. No guarantee. Appointment times often don't matter. CHECK-IN Office staff generally friendly and helpful. Shipping office near door 4. Gates open at 5am, office at 7am. DOCK OPERATIONS Live load only. Stage between doors 9-10. Doors 18-20 reportedly tight for maneuvering. Staff comes out with paperwork to expedite departure. Unloaders are forklift operators — some reviews mention aggressive/reckless movement. LOAD ISSUES At least one report of rejected pallet load due to damage from improper packaging. Staff inconsistently willing to work around issues. OVERNIGHT PARKING Available outside the gate. Street parking also noted as available. FACILITIES Restrooms not mentioned in most reviews. One driver noted they didn't see any restrooms or porta potties. US Food service across the street. STAFF ATTITUDE Mostly friendly and helpful, with notable exceptions. Some shifts described as unprofessional or indifferent. One office staff member specifically called out as unhelpful. BEST BETS Early morning appointments (7-8am) with correct paperwork and proper packing. Bring food/entertainment. Expect 2-4 hours minimum, plan for much longer.
