Facility info
Appointment scheduling & live load hell Preloaded pickups routinely take 6–12+ hours despite scheduled times; expect 2–3 day waits even with "preloaded" designation Live loads are brutal—standard wait is 3–10 hours at dock before loading starts; documented cases of 16–25 hour total waits Drop and hook is the only reliable option—fast in/out, usually ready; separate yard ~3/4 mile down on right side of 114 Check-in & yard navigation Check in with security first, then wait in truck Facility layout confusing—security gives imprecise directions; you'll get sent gate-to-gate for 45+ minutes; some drivers report being turned away at wrong gates Gate 9 security quality varies wildly Facility conditions Mud, potholes, uneven roads throughout; hazardous debris scattered in lots Overnight parking available; some drivers allowed to unhook and leave while waiting Restrooms difficult to access or unavailable Staff & operations Inconsistent—friendly and helpful on good days; unprofessional, unprepared, or rude on others Load management issues: product shortages common, trailers rejected without explanation, empties sometimes unavailable forcing unplanned live loads Security gate staff quality varies significantly by shift Bottom line: Drop and hook only. Reject live load appointments. Do not come here expecting to move quickly.

they reject trailers for no reason avoid this shipper
Naheola Mill Carga rápida, staff amable Necesitas lentes y zapatos de seguridad, si es tu primera vez aquí te ponen a ver un vídeo y llenar un formulario de seguridad El guardia te avisa cuando puedas ir a oficina de despacho, llenas otro formulario y te dan puerta Sueltas la caja y colocas el tráiler jack, una vez cargado te dejan el sello dentro de la caja, recoges tus bol, sellas y listo

Super nice staff
From my experience delivering here, I never had any issues out of the ordinary I got here at shift change and had to wait an hour even though I was told 20 to 40 minutes ,no big deal to me I made dinner and I will not be able to get another load until in the morning I showed up at 5:50 PM and informed to go to shipping and receiving at 6:10 PM to be given a door,I am now getting unloaded at 7:40 PM. My papers are already signed. I had to disconnect ,tandem‘s back ,doors open. I have a red light right now. Once it turns green I’m done going down the road. 🚛 The guard was nice ,shipping and receiving were nice I was just chill and respectful and polite Take care everybody and be safe 🙏🏼 P.S. A lady come out to let me know they are almost done unloading me and once I get a green light, I am allowed to go. I was concerned about that as I was going to ask before I pulled out,”Is it all clear to go?“ It is now 7:56 PM. I’m hooking up and fixing to go down the road. Safe travels everybody 🚛🙏🏼🫡
