KPAC Coil Ave | Wilmington

Facility info

Appointment scheduling required — shows up on confirmation number. $150 late fee if you miss it. Early check-in (up to 2 hours) sometimes allowed if not busy. Receiving opens 5–6am depending on day. Drop and hook — you pay lumper fee ($30–$150 range, typically $45–$50). Gate assignment usually happens quickly once you check in. Wait times wildly inconsistent — anywhere from 20 minutes to 8+ hours. Depends on load type, day of week, and how busy they are. Some drivers report being prioritized based on rush hour vs. off-peak. Tight entrance off Pacific Coast Highway — sharp left turn onto Coil Avenue before the light. Go slow. Docks themselves are easy to back into. No overnight parking. Street parking on Alameda if available (holds 5–6 trucks max). Surrounding area is sketchy — homeless camps nearby, narrow streets, not safe to park long-term. Arrive early and leave soon as empty. Bathrooms available (portable potties noted). Clean facility overall. Safety vest required. Staff attitude mixed — some drivers praise security and dock crew as friendly and helpful. Others report rude, lazy, unhelpful staff. Culture seems inconsistent by shift or manager. Occasional billing/documentation issues reported — seals written instead of printed, confusion over appointment times at check-in.
