Facility info

Appointments required; can arrive max 1 hour early. No overnight parking on-site. Live load operation. Only 3 docks open for loading. Getting a door is usually quick, but actual loading times are highly unpredictable. Wait times are the major issue. Most common complaints: 5-13+ hours from appointment to start of loading. Some loads never start same day. A few drivers report faster loads (under 1-2 hours), but these appear to be exceptions or lighter loads. Pick/staging delays are frequent root cause—loads often aren't ready when driver arrives despite appointment time. Shift changes at 6pm appear to cause additional delays; evening/night appointments may experience longer waits. Spotters available at some docks (Dock 1 may need spotter; ask for yard guy at Dock 21). Check in at shipping department entrance, near Dock 21. Receiving entrance is separate. Staff attitude mixed but leans positive—many drivers praise individual employees as friendly and helpful. Some reports of unprofessional behavior at check-in. Free Keurig coffee available while waiting. Clean bathrooms reported. Small parking lot; overflow trucks park on nearby road or use Pilot 7 miles away (some truck stops 1 mile away with limited spots). No time stamps recorded—take screenshots of check-in/out times. ELDs: Plan to lose significant hours here; may impact delivery schedules. Facility layout has tight single entrance/exit with limited maneuverability when multiple trucks present.

    Took me only 3 minutes to dock, piece of cake but it takes me 15 minutes to go out because you see I walk too slow to get the papers like a take your time when walking, then I have to secure the loads another take your time or else you will hurt yourself that nobody will see that you already break your back after falling at the trailer so just make it safe all the time climbing the door the same as take it easy but the overall experiences, the fastest loading<br>I ever encountered in my entire life including before I retire and after I came back from retirement because my retirement pension was not enough for me so I better go back to work 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    A free cup of coffee isn't worth the headache or the rude staff. 1/5. Will not recommend.

    The staff was excellent—they unloaded me immediately and sent me on my way.
