Trailer dropped in assigned spot, driver proceeds to dock 301 with paperwork, then to bobtail parking. Safety vest required on property. Gate check-in can take 20 minutes during busy times. Live load unload times highly variable: 45 minutes to 10 hours reported, with 3-4 hours common. Some loads processed much faster (1 hour reported). Staff will call when trailer ready. Receiving opens 6am. Wait Times Highly inconsistent. Drop-and-hook trips: typically 1-3 hours total. Live unload: expect 3-10 hours. Multiple reports of 4-6+ hour waits. Some fast unloads completed in 45 minutes to 1 hour. Empty trailer availability: up to 2-hour waits reported. Facility Spacious yard with easy backing and room to maneuver. No overnight parking for OTR drivers (bobtail parking available for drop-and-hook). Driver restroom available, clean. Some vending machines. Receiving dock 301 is check-in point. Staff Professional and friendly gate/desk staff reported by most. Security personnel described as nice and helpful. Staff generally courteous but workload management issues cited in negative reviews.
