Check-in procedure: Walk to guard shack with paperwork. Security verifies trailer at numbered arch sections before proceeding. No sitting in truck line or you'll be marked late. Overnight parking: Available in staging area and overflow lots (lanes 2–3, right side). Inbound loads only, but generally tolerated for rest breaks.
