Pilgrim's Pride Plant

Facility info

Live loads: expect 5–14+ hour waits. Door assignments delayed; product often not ready at appointment time. Some faster nights (1–2 hours possible, rare). Drop-and-hook: 2–6 hours typical, but trailers sometimes sit 5+ days before unload. Paperwork processing slow. Can add 1–3 hours after loading complete. Check-in via guard shack. Trailer locked/padlocked; reefer temps strictly enforced (must meet spec or won't clear gate). Mandatory pre-load gate checks. No driver facilities. Porta potties only (filthy per multiple reviews). No breakroom, vending, or proper restrooms. Yard conditions poor. Bumpy, unrepaired parking lot. Limited trailer maneuvering space. Facility smells strongly of poultry. Weight issues. Manifested weights don't match actual; overages common. Scale on site. Staff hit-or-miss. Guard shack and some office staff friendly; others rude and dismissive. Shift changes can mean attitude flip. Mandatory vaccines required per company policy.
