Facility info

Appointments required; they won't dock you before appointment time. Check in at guard shack 6 AM onwards, they'll call when door is ready. Early arrival doesn't guarantee early unload. Live unload with lumper fee (Capstone Logistics). Lumper fees range $100–$384; price not disclosed upfront. Fast unloading when it happens (30 min–1 hour common), but paperwork retrieval can add 1–6 hours total wait time. Wait times are highly inconsistent: 15 min to 14+ hours. Most fast runs are 1–2 hours door-to-door. Slow runs regularly hit 6–8 hours. Afternoon/evening slots trend slower than early morning. Overnight parking limited or unavailable. Some report parking in staging area; others told to park off-site. Truck stop 1 mile away available. Portable restrooms only (no indoor facilities for drivers due to COVID policy). Tight backing conditions. Trailers staged everywhere, limited maneuverability around loading docks. Yard is spacious but parking spots occupied by empty containers. Security/staff attitude inconsistent. Some guards friendly and helpful; others dismissive or rude. Check-in can be smooth or hostile depending on who's working. Receiving staff frequently glued to phones, unhelpful with paperwork handoff. High-visibility safety vest required. No exceptions.
