Facility info

Check-in: 1-1.5 hours early is standard. Arrive too early and you'll be turned away. Guard shack check-in takes 35-45 minutes. Get sticker at gate, submit in office, they call your door number. Appointments: Facility enforces them strictly but doesn't always respect driver wait times. Known for rescheduling even with early arrival if docks full. Don't be late—you'll get bumped. Load type: Advertised as drop and hook but frequently turns out to be live load. Unloading speed varies—15 minutes to several hours depending on dock congestion. Unload times: Ranges widely. Some report 45 minutes to 1.5 hours in and out; others wait 4-5+ hours. Night shift reportedly slower. Paperwork delays are chronic—can add 1.5-3 hours after physical unload is complete. Parking: No street parking. $200-240 tickets issued regularly, even at night. Fire lanes enforced. Paid lot available but tight. Nearby Lineage facility offers street parking as alternative if you need to wait. Facility: Tight backing spaces, especially near guard shack. Heavy truck congestion during peak hours. Yard management poor—drivers pile up creating traffic bottlenecks. Lot gets packed with trucks blocking flow. Staff attitude: Inconsistent. Some report pleasant, helpful personnel; others report rude, dismissive staff, particularly in check-in office and night shift. Complaint about preferential treatment at gate. Professional security at main gate noted as positive by some. Bathrooms: Reported as nasty and poorly maintained. Overall: Facility quality and wait times have improved recently for some, but remains unreliable. Many drivers recommend avoiding if possible. Performance varies significantly by shift and day.
