Facility info

Appointment must be kept—30+ min late = rejection and reschedule. Facility enforces strictly but applies same rule inconsistently to themselves. Unloading times: 4–15 hours typical. Many reports of 8–12 hour waits even with on-time arrival and small loads (2–8 pallets). Check-in procedure: Report to guard, write phone number on bill, place bills in yellow mailbox at receiving office. Staff calls with dock assignment. No overnight parking on facility. Walmart 1 mile away (parking allowed before delivery only—leave by 7 AM before police ticket). Wawa gas station 1 mile away has 8–10 spots, 24/7. Portable toilet available—described as filthy by multiple drivers. Yard is tight and congested. Fire hydrant in middle of lot. Concrete barriers blocking some dock doors create backing hazards. Accident-prone layout. Staff attitude: Mix of helpful individuals and indifferent/rude employees. Check-in staff ranges from courteous to dismissive. Reefer loads particularly slow—6–11 hours not uncommon with unit running. Dock workers slow and disorganized. Dropped trailers pile up, making door access difficult even after assignment called. Paperwork delays common—2+ hours after unload finished. Early arrival not recommended—facility turns trucks away before appointment time. Show 30–45 min early if you must.
