Facility info
OPERATIONS Drop and hook standard. Pull to stop sign, check in at guard shack, drop trailer with tandems slid all the way back, bobtail to parking lot. Yard jockey positions trailer at door. Call you when ready. Check out requires both seals (outside and inside trailer). Must pull forward to stop sign even if you're alone at night — they won't check you in otherwise. Appointments flexible in both directions — can show up early and get loaded same day, but some reports of strict "30 minutes before appointment or you're kicked out" policy. Conflicting info on appointment enforcement. Don't rely on appointment timing. Wait times highly variable. Range from under 1 hour to 7+ hours. Recent reports of slowdowns; used to be consistently faster. Saturday pickups risky — production line downs have caused 24+ hour waits. Live load capability available. 45-minute turnarounds reported. FACILITY EXPERIENCE Overnight parking available 24/7. Don't hook up to trailer until ready to depart. Driver lounge and clean restrooms on-site. On-site scale — no need for cat scale. Provides axle weight tickets. Staff attitude mostly positive. Guard shack personnel professional and helpful. One yard jockey reported as problematic/aggressive. Most yard drivers helpful and efficient. Facility well-organized with clear signage and printed instructions provided at check-in. Two check-in lanes available. Checkout line can get extremely long. Trailer damage reported — hole in floor that loaders saw but loaded anyway without alerting driver. Cost split after dispute. Open, spacious drop yard.
Driver reviews
Their system went down last night and no one is inside, according to the guards. I was told it will definitely be later to night before loading. There is about 6 more spot here, restrooms and a driver's lounge.
Molson Coors Shenandoah brewery. Came in for a preloaded trailer but they are running a day behind on loading. Forced to cancel load. Bobtail parking for live drivers with lounge and restroom in trailer by gate. Trailers must be clean for pick up.
