Saputo Cheese

Facility info

Appointments required. Arrive early or on time—product release delays common regardless. Some dock favoritism reported. Load/unload times all over the map. Ranges from 1-2 hours to 7+ hours. Paperwork processing especially slow—expect 45 min to 2 hours after loading finishes. Few loads complete in under 3 hours total. Drop and hook available but most are live loads. Check-in: Go left past guard, continue down driveway, turn around, park against fence on entry road. Walk to shipping/receiving office (gray door marked on side of building). Requirements: Padlock, three load locks or straps. Bring broker name and PO number. No overnight parking. No restrooms. Backing: Deep facility but plenty of maneuvering room once parked. Staff attitude: Inconsistent. Mix of friendly/helpful and dismissive. One desk staffer noted as particularly unhelpful. Odor: Strong cheese smell throughout facility and grounds. Yard condition: Tight for trucks in some areas. Generally manageable but space limitations mentioned. Facility genuinely cares about employees per community feedback, but doesn't always translate to driver experience. Bottom line: Functional but time-consuming. Budget 3-5 hours minimum for a full cycle. Go in with realistic expectations on wait times.
