Facility info

Appointments don't mean much—expect FCFS chaos Appointments largely ignored; workload determines priority, not scheduled times Wait times 5–27+ hours common; many drivers report 24–48 hour delays Live unload typically slower than drop/hook Drop and hook available but slow overall Drop and hook option exists; some report decent turnaround when they use scale Overnight parking available—use it, you'll need it Loads with raw materials or lower priority items get pushed back for finished goods Facility basics are there, but understaffed Bathrooms available (mix of indoor restrooms and porta-potties depending on dock location) Guard shack staff generally polite; shipping/receiving staff range from helpful to dismissive 24-hour access; scale on-site free to use No management visible; facility is poorly coordinated GPS/navigation issues Truck GPS routes to wrong entrance; use phone GPS for truck entrance on Progress Drive U-turn not permitted inside facility; must exit to road to reenter correctly
