Facility info

Speed is wildly inconsistent. Some loads done in 25-30 minutes; others take 4-9+ hours. Hopper bottom and soybean meal loads tend faster. Dry van and reefer loads often slower. Appointment times frequently ignored. Check-in straightforward — given door upon arrival in better scenarios. Staging area tight; backing difficult if not experienced. Gate access issues reported for tankers; PO number approval required and can delay loading. Staff uniformly friendly and helpful. Loaders and front desk described as nice, genuine, accommodating. Willingness to assist first-timers. Facility conditions poor for drivers. Bathrooms limited to nasty portable toilets. No hand-washing stations. No overnight parking mentioned. 8-10 trucks routinely staging; congestion common. Significant equipment damage reported — one driver stated major trailer damage occurred, facility denied responsibility and lied about it. Load cancellation difficult. Brokers threaten blacklisting; hard to back out once assigned. Van/refer drivers: Redirected to 1500 Church St, Decatur, AL anyway. Variability in experience suggests operational inconsistency — management quality or staffing levels may fluctuate day-to-day. One observer noted 6 doors loading simultaneously and efficient flow, but this wasn't typical across reviews.
