Facility info

Appointment timing strict — arrive within 1 hour of appointment or risk rejection; early arrivals sometimes accommodated, sometimes not. Live unload 4am–11am only — lumper fees charged (typically $400+), often requested mid-process or after green light. Unload times highly variable — 30 minutes to 10+ hours depending on load type; floor loads consistently worst (5–10 hours common). No overnight parking anymore — multiple recent reviews confirm lot closed to parking; police ticket enforcement active. Bathrooms available in receiving office. Staff attitude inconsistent — some drivers report friendly/professional service, others report disrespectful/inattentive personnel; security/guards quality varies widely. Difficult entrance — hard to locate truck entry; ask guard for directions. Gate bottlenecks — single guard checking in/out creates long lines, especially during peak hours. Drop and hook available 24/7 at shipping & receiving.
