Facility info

OPERATIONS Appointment scheduling required. Can only arrive 1 hour prior to appointment time. Drop and hook operation. 30-45 minute wait at guard shack common due to backups. Check-in at gate house only 1 hour before appointment. Unload times highly variable: 1-2 hours on good days, 4-6 hours on bad days. No clear pattern. Some report under 2 hours gate-to-exit, others report 7+ hours total time. Difficult approach — 50+ miles of narrow, winding single-lane roads with steep grades; expect 20 mph maximum on route. FACILITY EXPERIENCE No overnight parking allowed. Small truck stop 2 miles away (often full). Bathroom facilities noted as poor ("dishwashers" complaint appears repeatedly). Large parking lot on-site but day parking only. Driver lounge available inside. Gate staff generally friendly and professional. Yard conditions adequate. Staff attitude mixed — some supervisors helpful and respectful, others rushed and demanding. Lumper company (Capstone) reported as slow and overpriced. Facility strict on high-visibility vest requirement. Large lot available for drop trailers. HIT OR MISS This facility is unpredictable. Timing, day of week, and workload heavily influence experience. Arrive on-time for appointment — early arrival won't help. Plan clock management carefully due to no overnight parking.
