Facility info

APPOINTMENTS & OPERATIONS Appointment-only facility. Check in 30 minutes before appointment time. Live load operation. No-idle policy in place. Highly variable load times — ranges from 15 minutes to 8+ hours; expect 3-5 hours as baseline. Some drivers report loading starts significantly after appointment time even when arriving on time. Arriving early doesn't guarantee early loading. CHECK-IN & PAPERWORK Gate check-in typically quick (15-30 minutes). Shipping office/paperwork can be slow — anywhere from 3 minutes to 1+ hour. Stay alert after loading completes; drivers report not being notified when truck is ready, so monitor for signals rather than waiting for someone to come tell you. WAIT TIMES Inconsistent. Best cases: 1-2 hours total. Typical cases: 3-5 hours. Worst cases: 6-8+ hours. Loading/unloading speed appears to depend heavily on day and staffing. Forklift operators frequently noted as slow. FACILITY CONDITIONS Wide docks with decent backing room. Bathrooms available and cleaned. Vending machines on site. Microwave access. No overnight parking available on facility grounds — street parking only, which may result in local parking tickets. STAFF & ATTITUDE Gate security guards consistently praised — professional, friendly, communicative. Check-in staff noted as pleasant and helpful. Warehouse/loading crew is the weak point — frequently described as slow, lazy, taking excessive breaks. Shipping office staff described as both professional and unprofessional depending on visit. CRITICAL NOTES Multiple drivers report that being late is interpreted strictly — reschedule if you'll miss appointment. Several complaints about disrespectful treatment of non-English speaking drivers. Safety concerns flagged regarding forklift operations and OSHA compliance.
