    Easy in and out for us. Appt at 8am. In at 7:30. Empty at 8:15. Tight back into door 2 but doable. Might have to blind side at some point. Easy to get to from Hickory, take 321N about 15 miles to SouthWest Blvd toward 64. Go about 4 miles to Emerald. EOR, TR on Virginia St SW. Cross bridge then L on Homegrown at JBS sign. Pull to stop. Guard will come to you.

    One of the worst experiences with this place i reached here at 5:30 they start taking receiving at 6 there is no other truck on the site for unloading then also they took almost 5 hours just to assign dock. Receiver also not picked the call. I have one more delivery for which i have to wait Saturday and sunday just because of them.

    It’s best to not come early you’ll be waiting for a door past your apt time
