If you’re picking up or delivering here, the facility is open 24/7. Loading was very smooth. You’ll need to park in the lot and check in — the process was easy. I got loaded in just 20 minutes. They do have a restroom available for drivers. Make sure you bring a hard hat and follow all safety requirements, otherwise they won’t load you or even check you in.

The only issue was that the lady at the shipping office was on a video call with her family while working, which was a bit unprofessional.

Everyone here is pretty friendly. Make sure you have you safety boots, safety vest, hardhat, and probably safety glasses to be safe or else you won't even get through the gate except to turn around. There is a Walmart and a Home Depot about 1.5 miles away on 231. Loading went pretty quick but it took me 45 minutes from check in to get to my door after the shipping office sent me to the docks at the far end of the quarry and then they told me to turn around and go back to a different set of docks. Pretty well lit for what the place is and tons of signs everywhere.

This is a 24-hour facility. They are closed from 6 AM on Saturdays until 6 AM on Monday. Once you get your load information, go ahead and pick up your load. The walk from the staging area to the shipping office is only 5 min. The ground is very dirty & maybe muddy like it is today because of the rain. Be prepared to clean your floor or put on booties if you have some. You will need a truck wash once you leave here.

Very big facility. U need to have hard hat and safety vest all the time. You checkin at shipping office and then they gonna send you to dock mile away from shipping office . Lot of dirt all around.

This place is easy to find, but it is going to cause your truck to be dirty. Have on proper PPE before check in if not they wonder check you in until you have it. Once loaded come back to door one so they can check load and get pics. Once done you will get BOL and you can leave.

Must Bring your hardhat and reflecting vest or you will have to go to Home Depot to get one.
Place is super dirty you’ll have white dust in your cab. Had to go to three different places within the facility to get loaded. Overall time. Spent 3 hours.
They have a scale

Muddy quarry. Must get washout and truck and engine wash after load.
5th of a mile walk to shipping. Loaders load a few and talk a few. I had trailer rejected after hauling from here. Had to get a washout. Delay almost cost me the load.
In fact Broker canceled me on the delay but shipper loaded me anyway, when trailer was slightly damp.
Frieght is too cheap for the hassle.
