Facility info

Appointment scheduling: Have one, but don't expect it to be honored consistently. Arrival time varies wildly — some get doors immediately, others wait hours past appointment time. Check-in procedure: Call the number on the gate sign or use CB radio. Can check in anytime, even night before. Small staging area outside gate (10-12 spots) for waiting. Live load, unloading times: Live unload only. Speed is highly inconsistent — ranges from 20 minutes to 5+ hours. Some loads involving restocking take significantly longer. No clear pattern; appears dependent on staffing/workload on the day. Lumper fees: Paid via text link (Capstone) or at window. High — typically $250-$500 depending on weight and pallet count. Some drivers report $495+ for standard loads. Overnight parking: Limited spots available directly outside gate entrance. Loves truck stop 2-4 miles away. Restrooms: Inside receiver office only (ask at window). None outside gate. Staff attitude: Mixed. Many report friendly, professional, respectful staff. Some report rude personnel, particularly at window. Facility conditions: Easy backing with plenty of room to maneuver. Staging area can get crowded. Entrance not clearly marked — look for flagpoles near railroad crossing; turn left immediately before tracks. Receiving hours: 6 AM to 12 PM. Other: Food service distribution (restaurants/grocery). Exit opposite direction from entry. Don't move truck from door once green light given — wait for explicit call.
