Heads up drivers. Vlasic jarred pickles shipped from here. Minimum weight is 43k. Reefer trailers are not recommended, but they will load you, per shipper. I arrived on a Saturday, around 4 pm, I had to deny the load, due to weight of load because they wouldn't cut any pallets. I wasn't gonna risk being over weight, and then have to sit till Monday to go back and get product removed.

Good fast loading, Valasic pickles, loaded too heavy in front so rough ride. Axle out too short. Said couldn't spread 48'-12 spots.

Good people you can park overnight in dead end street, not on property. If They have a load ready you can check in earlier and be out of your way in 30 min. There is no truck stops near by.

Nice people, who genuinely care about their customers, and most of their workers. Let's face it some people just don't want to get along.

Loaded here today, for the first time. Very pleased with the experience. I checked in with shipping and receiving, and within three minutes of bumping the dock, ; the loading began. In another 15 minutes, I had my paperwork in hand and was leaving. I'd load here again and I hope to in the future.

First, let me just say that I don't actually work here. I visit different areas of their facilities in order to deliver food from my work place. That said, I've never encountered an employee there that I didn't like. From shipping and receiving and the warehouse, to the repair garage, to the main office.the place is kept very clean. Employees across all departments are always friendly, and seem to like thier jobs. From what I've seen, the bosses there are very respectable as well.
