Facility info

Appointments frequently changed without notice — verify before arrival Live load waits range wildly: 1.5-15+ hours after check-in; some loads ready in 30-45 minutes, others take 7+ hours Drop and hook generally faster but verify load is actually ready before dropping empty trailer Check-in takes 30 minutes to 1+ hour depending on line congestion No restrooms in facility — outhouse only (or guard shack restroom mentioned once) Overnight parking available in waiting area/side yard Security checks trailer seals and slide axles to back before check-in Must collect rubber load bars/straps from inspection area — not left in empty trailers Scale on site; within 75 lbs of CAT scale accuracy Load bars and straps must be returned or security will flag for rework Staff attitude inconsistent: some drivers report polite/professional treatment; others describe rude, dismissive, or unprofessional behavior from gate staff and dispatch Communication poor — previous shift often doesn't relay load info; drivers expected to check back repeatedly Facility runs behind production frequently; appointment times not honored Gate checkout lines can be slow and disorganized Yard conditions muddy with ruts in wait area when wet — park carefully Company has changed load assignments after pickup (added 600-mile stop without notice) Some cargo mix-ups reported Facility operates inconsistently — some loads move fast while others sit; unclear why variation occurs
