Facility info

OPERATIONS Appointment only — arrive on time or face significant delays. Early arrivals may be turned away. Check-in at main shipping/receiving office first, then directed to receiving dock Load times highly variable: 15 minutes to 7+ hours. Most efficient pickups/deliveries 1-2 hours when load is ready Open 6am-5pm (some sources say 6am-7pm; verify current hours) Receiving 6am-3pm or 6am-5pm (conflicting reports) Dock assignments given at check-in; wait times unpredictable even with appointment Many complaints about loads not being ready despite scheduled appointments FACILITY EXPERIENCE Overnight parking available with ample space — avoid parking directly in front of loading docks or at rear of building Restrooms available during business hours; none staffed after hours Staff attitude mixed: check-in personnel generally friendly and apologetic about delays; some receiving staff reported as dismissive Yard conditions adequate; easy backing for most; GPS directions unreliable — use provided directions or Trucker Path Clean facility overall Location tricky to find; follow detailed directions carefully THE REALITY This facility is inconsistent. Some drivers report 30-minute turnarounds; others wait 5+ hours for identical appointments. Performance appears dependent on load readiness, not dock efficiency. Strict on appointment timing but will occasionally work in late arrivals. Factor in potential wait time — don't plan tight connections.
