Wasn't too bad. Unhook from the trailer. Can arrive up to 2 hrs before appointment time. Unloading about 2 hrs.

Very friendly and helpful check-in people. No overnight parking. Do not miss your appointment. They are decently fast on their unloading. Not a bad place

Check in at guard shack was quick and easy. The ladies in guard shack were very nice. Do not arrive too early, try to arrive 30 minutes prior to appointment time. After check in at guard shack, park next to rail and take paperwork and seal to receiving office at door 135. There you will get your dock assignment.

Live Load and everyone there was nice, from the guard shack to the shipping office it was a very smooth process

They ask you to unhook from the trailer, no problem
There is a Pilot right up the street for parking/waiting

God Bless our Truckers as they

Pull up to guard shack and bring your paper work. After that pull along side guard rail, and check in at door 135. Once that’s done and a door has been assigned, go back up up and drop trailer park in front of it. They’ll call call when empty. Don’t forget to bring in your seal when checking in. There’s also a pilot down the street if you show up early or want to stay the night. Plenty of room.

They always have new people coming and going because they have too many requirements. Which in my opinion doesn’t look good for the company at all. They fire good workers who meet production and have been there for years even if they are under the points. The staff who work on the floor don’t care about the workers who are actually doing work while they stand around and sit down, they do nothing! They always have an attitude for no reason, even when being respectful, they will roll their eyes in your face.

Appointment time 8am, checked in at guard shack at 7:45am. The black lady at the receiving office treated me very well, assigned me a dock right away. It only took them 30 mins to unload me. I got the paperwork at 9 am. Get in and out within one hour! I am satisfied with this DC. BTW, there are some outdoor restrooms in the lot! It seems that they improve a lot!

Arrived at 8:30 for a 9 o' clock appt. After four hours, I go inside to check, only to find, they haven't even started to unload me. Said they only had one clamper. This isn't the most unorganized and unprofessional facility I've been to, but it ranks high.

I'm literally the only live load left and five and a half hours later, they're maybe halfway done. Places like this need an entire overhaul. It's not the docks, it's the people running the operation in the office. When you're more interested in chumming up one another, and asserting authority and think it's a game to see how long you can keep a driver waiting while thinking it's funny, it devolves into incompetence. And that sums this place up perfectly....Incompetence. Dysfunctional at best.

My suggestion is to make this load the last load of the week, be an hour early for check in to avoid long lines, and mention detention pay to the broker or whatever company you may drive for. And don't secure a backhaul dealing with these people. You'll lose that almost for certain. Not recommended except as the last load for the week for the simple fact that the loads are usually light and pay well enough.
