Facility info

Appointments: Exist but don't guarantee loading order — often first-come, first-served despite scheduled times. Arriving early may help or hurt depending on day/staffing. Live load vs drop/hook: Both handled. Drop/hook typically faster (under 1 hour to 2 hours when things move), but live loads routinely take 6-24+ hours from check-in to departure. Check-in: Quick at gate — bring driver's license, tractor/trailer numbers, broker name (if applicable), and delivery location. Two outside lanes for carrier vehicles. Walk into security shack for paperwork. Inspection/staging: Mandatory inspection bay after check-in. Trailers with holes/leaks rejected. Bulkheads loaded here. Tight parking spots in staging area — very tight, risk of mirror strikes if neighbors back in poorly. Wait times: Highly variable and unpredictable. 30 minutes to 27+ hours reported. Staging waits of 3-8 hours common. Checkout line frequently 1+ hour even for preloaded drops. Loading itself typically quick (20-30 min) once at dock. Gate/checkout: Significant bottleneck. Long lines (20+ trucks) normal. Paperwork processing slow — major complaint. Can add 1-2 hours to total time. Overnight parking: Overflow lot outside main gate available but muddy/pothole-filled and may fill up hours before business hours. No on-site overnight parking inside facility noted recently. Facilities: Porta-potties only (no traditional bathrooms). Restroom access at security office. Convenience store nearby. No AC in waiting areas — heat noted as issue. Staff attitude: Mixed. Most check-in/yard staff reported friendly and professional, but some gate/security personnel with attitude issues noted. Loading dock crews generally efficient and polite. Yard conditions: Tight maneuvering spaces, good lighting. Scales on-site (bring load securely — some calibration discrepancies reported). Requires minimum 2 straps/load bars. Load strapping: Drivers responsible. Spacing between pallets often too tight to access strap hooks — frustration point. •
