Facility info

GATE & CHECK-IN Gate check-in waits: 30 min to 3+ hours common. Early arrivals (before appointment) may wait significantly longer. Appointment times don't guarantee prompt entry. Gate assigns doors; receiving starts 10 PM Mon-Sat, 3 AM Sunday. Call box process: confirm number, temperature set/reading, seal number, phone number. Multiple reports of arriving on time or early but waiting hours at gate before door assignment. UNLOADING Door-to-completion times: 1-2 hours best case, 5-12 hours worst case. Average appears 3-4 hours. Lumper fees required for paid unload: $80-$230 reported. Full truck loads sometimes have zero lumper fee. Small pallets still incur fees but take longer proportionally. Unloading itself is usually quick once started, but paperwork delays common. PARKING No overnight parking. Severe shortage of legal staging area—only 3-4 trucks can park legally while waiting. Street parking results in police removal around 9 PM onward. Arriving significantly early is not recommended unless you have appointment flexibility. RESTROOM FACILITIES Bathroom reported out of service for months (multiple recent reviews confirm this ongoing issue). At least one recent review mentions working restroom available by request at office. Conflicting information suggests inconsistent status—verify on arrival. Hand washing unavailable when bathroom out of service per one report. STAFF & DEMEANOR Night shift staff often described as friendly, professional, understanding. Day/receiving office staff have mixed reviews—some reports of rudeness, indifference, irritation with drivers. One report of 15-minute window staff ignoring driver. FACILITY CONDITIONS Backing described as tight but manageable by most. Gate entrance in truck-restricted zone; local traffic enforcement active. Road access issues: Monticello Rd construction; enter via 83rd Street or McCoy Street/One Way gate. Vending machines available inside office. KEY OPERATIONAL NOTES Not true first-come-first-
