Facility info

Appointments & Operations Strict appointment scheduling — arriving early won't help and may result in refusal. Being late can get you rescheduled with 2-3 day delays. One hour before appointment is the recommended window. Drop and hook available and straightforward. Live unloads highly variable. Unload Times Wildly inconsistent. Range from 1-2 hours to 8-10 hours. Most reports cluster around 6-8 hours. Some loads processed faster via "automated line." No reliable ETA given — you'll be told to wait for a call. Scheduling Flexibility Will not accept early arrivals outside 1-hour window. No exceptions for tight schedules, though one report notes they accommodated an early arrival that resulted in quick unload. Facility & Conditions Parking described as nightmare. Safety concerns with vehicles exiting gate at high speed without checking for pedestrians. Facility itself called "beautiful" in some reviews. Staff Mixed. Some describe friendly, helpful employees. Others report poor management attitude and lack of responsiveness. Check-in process can be disorganized — may ask for delivery numbers you don't have. Overnight Parking Available for the long waits you should expect. Bottom Line Expect 4-8 hour minimum unload windows. Lock in your appointment time and don't arrive early. Bring food and patience. Performance varies by load type and timing, but consistency is not this facility's strength. Staff demeanor inconsistent — some helpful, some unhelpful.
