Facility info

Live load operation — hand-loaded, floor loads (no pallets). Trailers dropped at dock, driver waits in dirt lot for call. Wait times — typically 5-10 hours from check-in to departure. Appointments frequently missed by wide margins (several reports of 6+ hour delays past appointment time). Some loads not ready at scheduled time. Check-in — report to guard at gate for direction to office. Drop trailer at dock, then wait in common carrier staging area. Staffing/organization — inconsistent. Multiple reports of disorganized operations, orders not ready, unprepared loads. Some positive feedback on friendly staff and quick turnarounds, but rare compared to complaints. Restrooms — not available for drivers. Overnight parking — not mentioned in reviews. Yard conditions — tight turns on some access routes (avoid Smoketree Plaza Road). Trailers parked close together. Dirt waiting lot. Styrofoam recycling drop-off — separate operation, 24/7 access, quick (5 minutes), free, well-lit, drive-up bins. This is consistently praised. Note — one driver reported bankruptcy filing. Facility appears to have had some operational improvements at different periods based on conflicting review timelines, but majority of recent feedback emphasizes extended delays and disorganization.
