Facility info
Appointment required — don't show up without one. They will turn you away even 30 minutes early. Some flexibility reported at 15-30 minutes before scheduled time, but inconsistent. Fast unload/load times — typically 20-30 minutes once accepted. Some reports of waits 30-40 minutes around midday (11:40 AM area). Check-in procedures — go to shipping office at Door M12 (or assigned door) with all paperwork, container info, chassis number, driver's license. Bring everything at once — guards may make you go back and forth if not organized. Gate/security staff — mixed reviews. Some report very professional, helpful, quick processing. Others report rude, inattentive, on phones instead of helping drivers. Facility condition — clean, well-maintained, described as professional and efficiently run. Hours — 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Overnight parking — not mentioned in reviews. Bathrooms — clean restrooms noted. General facility vibe — mostly positive on operations and speed. Frustration centers on strict appointment enforcement, gate staff inconsistency, and occasional refusals despite valid appointments. Busy facility — expect lines at check-in regardless of time. Punctuality matters.
Driver reviews

At Tesla’s Service Distribution Center, I had the honor of loading my flatbed with pallets. The process was smooth and efficient, conducted with a precision that felt almost ceremonial. Each pallet was placed as if part of a grand design, secured with the strength of steel and the order of discipline. It was not merely loading freight — it was participating in the rhythm of modern industry, where technology and tradition meet upon the open deck of a flatbed. A moment both noble and practical.
