Facility info

OPERATIONS Appointment scheduling: Appointments required but enforcement is inconsistent. Early arrivals often turned away or told to return at appointment time. Some drivers report immediate access despite being significantly late; others wait hours past scheduled time. Live load vs drop/hook: Live loads available. Drop and hook option at on-site yard if trailer needs cleaning/staging. Check-in: Gate guard handles check-in. Trailers must arrive washed and fueled or you'll be turned around. Wait times: Highly variable. Range from 15 minutes to 4+ hours past appointment. Dock availability appears to be the bottleneck. Small dock with limited doors means backing up in queue. Generally faster once you get a door. FACILITY EXPERIENCE Overnight parking: None on-site. Nearby options: BP truck stop and Walmart parking less than a mile away per gate guard. Dock access: Tight backing maneuvers required. Approach receiving dock staying right against yellow curb, then swing left sharply in front of docks. Small staging areas. Docks have room to maneuver once you're positioned. Staff: Security/gate guard consistently praised as professional and understanding. Office and warehouse staff rated friendly and professional. Quick turnaround when doors are available (15 minutes to 1 hour reported). Facilities: No restrooms accessible to drivers. Washout available on-site. Facility cleanliness complaints in some reviews (smell, condition). OTHER NOTES Trailer requirements strictly enforced: must be clean and fueled before arrival or turned around. Discrimination complaint reported in one review. One review mentions forced trailer wash requirement. Unloading times when dock access granted: typically 30 minutes to 1 hour for live loads.
