Facility info

Hours: 6am-10pm Monday-Friday; closed weekends Wait times: Highly variable. Best case 30 mins-1 hour if arriving early and facility not busy. Typical 2-3 hours. Worst case 5-8 hours, especially if late to appointment or arriving during peak times. Morning crew consistently slower than evening/night crew. Appointment scheduling: Don't be late — arriving late can push you to 6-8 hours. Arriving early may get you a door assignment but doesn't guarantee immediate loading. Facility sometimes takes early arrivals if product is ready. Loading/unloading: Drop and hook or live load — mix of both observed. Speed inconsistent — ranges from 15 minutes to several hours depending on crew and time of day. Night crew faster and more efficient than day crew. Staffing appears understaffed relative to workload. Reefer must be pre-cooled to temperature or expect additional delays. Dock/yard conditions: Very tight maneuvering space. Difficult entry turns requiring careful navigation. Tight backing into doors, especially when multiple trucks present. Poor dock management and staging. Doors described as slightly tight but doable. Parking: Street parking only — frontage road and street around facility. Limited availability, especially mid-morning onward. No designated lot parking. Do not expect overnight parking. Park on street and walk to office for check-in. Facility experience: Small operation. Safety vest required. Restrooms available. Staff attitude mixed — front desk staff generally friendly and professional; dock/loader attitude varies significantly by shift. Day crew noted as problematic; evening/night crew described as excellent and hardworking but overextended. Weather note: can be cold — bring a coat. Check-in: Walk from street parking to office (left side of dock 1). Straightforward process.
