Facility info

No appointments — first come, first served (FCFS). Brokers may claim appointment times; don't rely on them. Facility starts unloading around 7 AM. Wait times are the main issue. Expect 3–8+ hours. Most common complaint is 6–7 hour waits. Speed depends on whether your product is a priority that day — produce type and warehouse inventory needs determine dock priority, not arrival order. Quality inspections on produce cause delays. Dock setup limits throughput. Two sections: tomatoes vs. peppers/onions. Limited doors per product. They use incoming trailers as storage when warehouse is full, which backs up the whole operation. Don't book loads back-to-back after this stop. 97% chance you'll be here all day and miss your next pickup. Limited overnight parking on-site — space for 3–5 trucks maximum. Their own trailers fill the lot. TA truck stop 3 miles away (171 Berkley Rd, Paulsboro, NJ 08066). Parking in dock doors overnight speeds up your dock time the next morning. Staff attitude mixed. Some drivers report friendly, helpful crew; others describe rude, dismissive, unhelpful staff. Communication issues — management doesn't answer phones or speak directly with drivers. Check-in opens around 6 AM. Arrive early and park in an open door if possible to secure priority. No detention pay — facility claims FCFS status to avoid compensating drivers for long waits. Brokers may refuse to process detention claims. Navigation issues. GPS sends some drivers to wrong location (a farm with mud, poor maneuvering space). Bathroom conditions reported as poor. Limited facilities.
