P&G EDMC Edwardsville Mixing Center

Facility info

Check-in & Operations Appointment required. Drop and hook standard—drop trailer, bobtail out of yard immediately (no on-site parking for live loads). Must slide tandems to rear before guard shack. Bring BOL and trailer number to guard window. For live unload, get SCAC code from dispatcher beforehand. Three lanes at guard shack. Live unload typically 4-6 hours but highly variable (range: 2-14 hours reported). Will NOT call when ready—check on trailer every 30 minutes or contact shipping office yourself. Load-ready pickups much faster (under 2 hours possible). Guard shack requires hi-vis vest. Wait Times Wildly inconsistent. Drop and hook: 30 minutes to 1 hour typical, occasionally under 2 hours. Live unload: 2-14 hours. Some reports of 8+ hour waits with no communication. Weekend appointments move faster. Load preparation delays common—trailers not in system or not staged. Overnight Parking None on-site. Flying J 1-2 miles away. Speedway also nearby. Must leave property after dropping trailer. Facility Conditions Organized yard. Clean. One-way route around building requires circling twice on drop and hook. Occasional trash left in trailers on pickup. Vending machines, ice, restrooms in shipping office vestibule. Staff & Attitude Mixed. Some guards friendly and helpful with directions. Multiple reports of rude, yelling gate staff (particularly mentioned: older male second shift, female exit gate attendant). Check-in office staff inconsistent—some friendly, some dismissive. Language barriers noted. Overall: unpredictable experience depending on who's working. Safety & Requirements Tandems must be slid to rear before check-in. Jack under nose of trailer required. PPE required. Strict yard rules enforced. Some drivers reported unnecessary regulations. Other P&G facility. Major delivery hub, regularly busy. Some equipment (load bars, straps) not returned to trailer after unload—verify your load before leaving.
