Facility info

Operations Live loads only — no drop and hook. Appointment scheduling exists but drivers frequently report being worked in early (sometimes 2-3 hours ahead of appointment). Check in at window to get dock assignment. Load times highly variable: 40 minutes to 6+ hours reported. Some loads may not be ready when you arrive — confirm product availability before dispatch. Operations run 7am-11pm. Dock access generally quick once checked in. Facility experience No overnight parking. Facility is clean and well-maintained. Backing is straightforward with adequate dock space. Bathrooms available. Staff attitude mixed: many report friendly, helpful, professional service; others report condescending treatment toward drivers. One mention of complimentary snacks (chips/salsa). Plant tours mentioned positively. Critical issue Wait times are unpredictable and problematic. Reviews consistently split between fast loads (1-1.5 hours) and extremely slow loads (5-6+ hours). Multiple drivers report significant delays despite appointments being honored. A few reviews claim facility organization issues, particularly in shipping department. One driver reported no load available on arrival. Bottom line Plan for 2-4 hours. Arrive close to appointment time — early arrival doesn't guarantee faster loading. Confirm load availability before arriving. Facility quality and staff demeanor are generally positive, but loading speed is unreliable.

    Good place won't mind coming back. Older gentleman in shipping office needs a raise, because he is doing a great job.
