Facility info

Operations Appointment scheduling required. Check in by calling phone number posted at facility — don't get out of truck. Dock assignment usually comes within 30 minutes to 1.5 hours of check-in call. Load times highly variable: 30-45 minutes on good days, 3-5 hours on slow days. Coming early before appointment doesn't guarantee faster service; some drivers report waiting until appointment time before being called to dock. Docks numbered 1-6 located in corner parallel to railroad tracks (easy to miss). Straight-line backing required. Sweep out trailer before entering dock. Facility experience Overnight parking available on-site. One portable restroom available outside dock area — reported as dirty/poorly maintained by multiple drivers. Limited lot space despite availability. Docks are tight but manageable with straight approach. Staff attitude mixed: check-in personnel (phone) consistently described as nice and helpful. Dock workers range from very fast to extremely slow — no consistency. Some personnel described as rude or cranky. Loading speed appears inconsistent day-to-day. Road construction on Main Street; use county roads LL and KW as alternate route. Facility near railroad tracks. Bottom line Reliable check-in process, but expect unpredictable load times. Plan for 1-5 hours minimum. Performance varies significantly — could be quick or very slow regardless of appointment time.
