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.
