“According to a client, this is one of those established facilities that’s been around awhile. Okay, what does that mean? Well, since this is an established facility, a lot of the procedures or practices have been tried and tested, in which a carrier must be prepared to listen attentively and adhere to the shipping department’s instructions. First and foremost, NEVER slide your tandems on the weight scales at any point; especially, on the scales at the entrance area (because the sliding action can damage the scales due to the shifting of the heavy weight from the semi and trailer). So, one of the best practices is to parked in front of the entrance scales and slide the tandems of the hauling trailer (before entering onto the scale (while also opening the trailer doors, because this facility uses cameras to inspect the hauling trailer at the entrance area). Secondly, knowing your load number/pickup number and the assigned freight broker is vital, because that’s the only way to properly check-in at this facility. So, always double check with your freight dispatcher and/or freight broker, because some loads can be “double brokered”. Aside from that, most of the check-in and check-out operations are performed on automated keypad systems (including the 2nd weight scale after the live load is complete). Also, there’s a Driver’s Lounge next to Dock Door #01 that has vending machines, a microwave, “running water”, and a clean restroom.”
