Driver reviews
Hit or miss here. 11pm appt, arrived at 5pm. Parked in staging area and called for door 12 at 830 pm on dry side. Got to walk to door 82 and wait till 9pm or later for them to open up and accept you. Walked all the way back to truck and red light was on. Some driver next to me was in and out quick. They didn’t touch my truck till 11:15 and that was just one pallet and sat there with no movement for a while. It all depend on the product you bring and how much of it along with how fast they can move it her freight out the way. I’m convinced I’ll be here till 3 am or longer. At least I’ll have a full clock by the time I’m empty. They do allow you to go back to the stage area to sleep till 6 am before booting you. Don’t expect parking at Flying J or even Racetrack. You might be better off looking for street parking away from facility since entire area sucks for parking.<br>There is parking for $17 next to Racetrack. I wouldn’t make it a habit to come here for freight if I were you
