Facility info
Operations Gates open 6am, check-in starts 7am sharp, closes 4pm (try to check in by 3:30pm) Simple check-in: line up in waiting area, walk to driver window with BOL # Load-and-go operation — typically 7-18 minutes to load, average 4 trucks every 11 minutes NO tarping allowed on property — designated tarping area 3 miles away, or quick smoke tarp/nursery net only Scale on-site to verify weights M-F only Some reports of computer/system issues preventing unloads Facility Experience Staff generally professional, fast, and polite — though some reports of rude/dismissive receiving personnel during peak waits Loaders careful with equipment High wait times reported during busy periods — multiple drivers waited 4-6+ hours No overnight parking on property Portable toilet only — no food, beverages, or other amenities Limited yard space CRITICAL: No street parking allowed — police actively issue tickets to trucks waiting outside gate. Facility lacks adequate staging area; drivers directed to wait off-site and return, sometimes multiple times Bottom Line Fast loading operation when you're in the queue, but severe bottleneck getting through check-in during peak times. No amenities, no tarping on-site. Arrive early to beat the line and watch the no-parking enforcement.
Driver reviews
Great staff, everyone was polite and helpful, great place to load up at
I absolutely love coming here to load. It is by far the best setup in the history of transportation. Checking in is a breeze. You will be treated politely and professionally.<br><br>On "average", they load four trucks every 11 minutes. Although, Depending on where your load is setting on the yard,you may be loaded in as little as 7 minutes or as long as 18 minutes.<br><br>The loaders are very gentle with your equipment as in not damaging your rubrail or any parts of your trailer.<br><br>During the loading process, you must remain in your cab. There are no needs to tell them how to load your truck. They are professional and your load weight will be evenly distributed. Minimum PPE is required.<br><br>They even have a scale if you want to weigh out. All loads are tarp required. However you are not permitted to tarp the entire load on their property,but you can throw something quick like a smoke tarp or nursery net to cover the front portion of the load. Just be quick about it because this is a fast pace location with very limited space.<br><br>They do have a designated location about 3 miles away for tarping due to limited space on the property.<br><br>There's also no parking alongside the roadside but many do. I have witnessed the local police giving out citations to drivers who disobey the no parking signs.<br><br>The only amenitie(s) is a portApotty. No food,snacks,or beverages are available. You won't be there long aways.<br><br>They're M-F The gates open at 06:00 for Staging and check-in is at 07:00 on the dot. They close at 16:00 and like you to be checked in by 15:30. However they're not hard to get along with. I've seen some show up at 15:50 and still get loaded.
