Facility info

APPOINTMENTS & OPERATIONS Receiving nights only, Sun-Thu 9 PM-3 AM. Check-in starts around 8:15 PM. Live unload only, no drop and hook. Lumper required for most loads (Capstone Logistics). Text notification when unload complete. Paperwork can take significantly longer than unload time. Some reports of appointment confusion—verify receiving hours match your load. UNLOAD TIMES Highly variable. Light loads (under 11k lbs) routinely done in 20-30 minutes. Full trailers typically 1-2 hours. Some reports of 3+ hour waits, occasionally much longer. Speed seems inconsistent day to day. LUMPER & FEES Capstone charges $100-315 depending on load. Paperless system, text-based payment. Some equipment issues reported—printer occasionally down, no printed receipts available. Pre-paid loads move faster. YARD & BACKING Tight operation. Doors 1-10 significantly cramped with reefer trailers parked in front blocking maneuver space. Doors 12+ spacious. Requires precision backing. Trailers staged 5 feet in front of doors. Consider this a challenging backing situation. PARKING Street parking only, 2-5 truck capacity maximum on side of road. Fills quickly. No dedicated lot. Nearby Casey gas station has limited parking. Porta-potty available near check-in office. STAFF Mostly professional and friendly, but inconsistent. Some reports of rude or unprofessional check-in staff. Reception lady attitude flagged multiple times. Most drivers report positive interactions with receiving crew. CHECK-IN PROCESS Park on street, walk to receiving door. Sign basic info sheet, lumper authorization sheet if needed. Door assignment given immediately in most cases. Early check-in typically allowed 1-2 hours before appointment. ENTRY Use Lee Norse Drive. Tight neighborhood roads with 8-ton weight limits on some streets—navigate carefully.
