Pilgrim's Plant

Facility info

Call ahead with load confirmation — staff won't honor appointments without ready inventory. Expect lies about timing ("we'll have you loaded when you arrive"). 4–10 hour load times are standard — some loads done in 1.5–2 hours, but plan for overnight waits. Not a matter of load size. Tight backing area — limited maneuvering space between trailers, especially at door 8. Cramped, bumpy yard conditions. Staff mixed bag — shipping office personnel generally polite and helpful, but receiving/dock crew moves at glacial pace. Some rude employees. No restrooms at dock — bring supplies for long waits. Facility has overnight parking available. Nasty conditions — chicken blood and water on ground, foul smell, dusty. Safety hazard for manual loading. Drop and hook available — can drop trailer early and pick up loaded one next day if you time it right. Truck route: Use I-40 access via 800 (left turn), avoid Memorial Park St. A and Walmart approach (no truck routes, limited turnaround).
