Facility info

Appointment scheduling: Appointments don't guarantee timing—expect 2.5+ hour delays past appointment time. Facility opens at 7am for check-in. Check-in procedures: Report to receiving booth at side of loading docks. Office check-in up the stairs from receiving. Look for "Finished Goods Shipping" sign on side of building—signage is unclear. Wait times: Highly variable. Range from 20 minutes to 30+ hours. Most common: 1–4 hours. Only 2 dock doors available but facility uses just one, creating bottlenecks. Unload speed: Once in a door, typically 30 minutes to 1 hour. Staff stops traffic for backing assistance. Overnight parking: Dirt/gravel lot across street from facility (near Crossvine Market and water tower). RR tracks area also has parking with lit gazebo. Staff attitude: Consistently friendly and helpful. Will accommodate late arrivals. Seal breaking and dock procedures handled by receiving staff. Facility conditions: Very clean processing plant. City street location with tight backing—enclosed dock without lights noted as challenging. Temperature-controlled food facility. Reefer vs dry van: Reefers typically dock at front of building. Dry van (especially salt loads) dock on side—backing is tight but manageable with traffic control.
