Operations Plan 4–7 hours minimum for unloading; highly inconsistent (range: 45 mins to 7.5 hours). Paperwork delays common, sometimes 2–3 hours after unload complete. Appointments required; check-in opens 1 hour before appointment time only. Arriving early gets you parked but no early door assignment. Receiving operates midnight–8am; don't arrive before 11pm or staff will turn you away. Facility Experience No overnight parking on property or street parking—will get ticketed. Limited lot space; tight working area. Staff attitude mixed and unpredictable. Guard gate staff ranges from helpful to verbally aggressive and disrespectful. Receiving office staff frequently described as rude, condescending, or unhelpful with paperwork. Bathrooms not mentioned in reviews. Damaged pallets: facility won't touch them—you restack or return later.
Driver reviews
Delivered yesterday at 04:00. The lady in receiving has a terrible attitude. Another driver was in there, talking on the phone, speakerphone with his dispatcher and an employee there, about damaged product. He was being a little loud. When the lady told me my door I wasn't sure if she said 15 or 16. She got angry and raised her voice and held up her hand to clarify door 15. I went to my truck and noticed another truck in door 15 with a red light. I went back and told her about the other truck. She spoke to another employee. I asked politely if door 15 still. She raised her voice and said "What did I say?!" This lady should be fired, or removed from that position. Maybe she hates truck drivers, but has no right to speak to drivers like children and yell at them. I hope her boss sees this. I hope she sees this. It's a shame. Everyone else was professional, friendly and polite. It's only because of this 1 (old) lady working nights that I gave 1 star.
lazy , took forever to unload truck
What an unrespectful place, really rude guard at entrance and exit thinking he owns the warehouse he didn't let you talk he just barking and not listening he just needs to calm down and listen to the drivers for once instead of trying to act like the boss
9 hours for unloading
Only 1 hr before your appointment and gets very busy
