Facility info

Unionized warehouse facility APPOINTMENTS STRICT — won't accept early arrivals (even 10-15 min), will turn you away and make you return. No exceptions noted. Need confirmation number for unload. LIVE UNLOAD WAIT TIMES HIGHLY VARIABLE — ranges from 1.5-2 hours (good days) to 4-6+ hours. Multiple reports of 3-5 hour waits on light loads (5-6 pallets). Shift changes reportedly create delays. DROP AND HOOK — generally faster and more reliable than live unload. Paperwork can take 1 hour after loading. CHECK-IN — app-only system. Guard shack/security at gate. Receiving office uses flashcards for trailer info (per one review). Slow check-ins reported. Occasionally accept drivers 30 min early despite stated policy. NO OVERNIGHT PARKING on site. Can park on off-ramp/exit to facility (Hwy 72). Nearby truck stops may be full at 4am. LOT CONDITIONS — tight/cramped. Trailers dropped everywhere. Limited maneuvering room. Maneuver carefully. STAFF — mixed. Friendly workers and good customer service noted frequently. Some reports of rude/unprofessional security guard and receiving office staff with poor people skills. Shift changes correlate with service drop-offs. FACILITY — hot and humid inside. Generally clean and organized (conflicting reports). PAPERWORK — Friday weekend pickups may not be ready at guard shack. Confirmation number required.
