Facility info

Operations Appointment system exists but appointment times aren't firm — get in line early. Live unload (roll stock paper primarily). Check-in: put paperwork in slot by dock 14, hit buzzer, wait in truck. Paper rolls go to back of building around left side. Unhook red air line, slide tandems, chock wheels, lower landing gear before docking. Wait times highly variable — anywhere from 20 minutes to 6+ hours depending on truck volume and staffing. Some shifts turn trucks away when over capacity. Facility experience No overnight parking. Bathrooms: porta-potty near rollstock dock, rarely maintained and not conveniently located. Facility can be confusing on first visit — multiple dock doors (1-12+), need to drive past them to back area. Yard jockey and receiving staff generally friendly and professional. First shift generally faster than other shifts. Evening and night shifts operate but slower. Staffing appears to be the bottleneck — often one person unloading during peak times. Reality check This facility is genuinely inconsistent. On good shifts you're in and out in 15-30 minutes. On bad shifts you're waiting 5+ hours. The difference appears to be staffing and shift. First shift typically better. Daytime without specific staffing can be brutal. One forklift operator (Don) is repeatedly praised for speed, professionalism, and going above and beyond. When he's working, experiences are significantly better. Without him, facility can be a time sink. If you must come, arrive early morning or ask if he's scheduled.
