Facility info

OPERATIONS Drop and hook standard — drop trailer, park off-site, wait for load. No live load capability. Appointment scheduling exists but largely ignored by facility; estimated times repeatedly inaccurate or deliberately vague. Load times consistently 12–50+ hours despite broker estimates of 4–6 hours. FDA export paperwork adds 10+ hours on some loads. Phone communication unreliable — shipping office frequently doesn't answer or won't provide updates. Shunting/handling fee (~$32) charged for trailer movement. Reefer fuel must be full before arrival (3/4 tank minimum rejected). Trailer must be pre-washed. No detention pay offered on drop-and-hook loads despite extreme delays. FACILITY EXPERIENCE No overnight parking on-site; Love's and Pilot 1–2 miles away but fill quickly early morning. Bathroom available. Yard conditions deteriorating — described as filthy with pervasive smell. Safety vest required past security checkpoint. Parking congestion during check-in/checkout creates hazardous weaving situations; some drivers report near-accidents. Trailer damage reported during loading with facility denying insurance responsibility. One documented injury (driver hit by yard equipment). Overnight security generally friendly; shipping/receiving office staff consistently hostile, rude, dismissive. Multiple reports of staff refusing to answer direct questions or provide load status. Management unresponsive to complaints — office personnel acknowledged to intentionally avoid answering phones. Trailer overweight issues common; facility argues with drivers rather than pre-check weights.
