They like trailers washed out or very clean, no fish smell, garlic smell, food, or blood is allowed before showing up, or you'll be sent to get a truck wash. The trailer temp should be ready and pre chilled at 34F. They normally load right at appointment time and sometimes ready early if you show up very early in the morning. They load fast and get you out fast typically. The people here are nice and the place is clean.
UPDATE: They no longer load trucks a day early. You must get here after 12am on the day of your load if you want to check in and stay the night. If you stay the night, you must run your truck in the back of the lot due to noise complaints. They will load you as soon as possible, but that sometimes might be 4-7am if you check in that early in...

I arrived at was greeted by a professional young man working night shift (Trevor I believe his name is). He was very helpful, professional, and quick at unloading my trailer. The yard hostler was very helpful as well by moving a trailer out of dock for me to back in.
I like arriving at customers like this where we are all working together. None of this we versus them .
Thank you Aurora Organic Dairy!
Also the guard shack attendant is very polite, friendly...

They put me in a door 7 minutes after I arrived and had me loaded with paperwork in hand in under an hour. All shippers should take note. They still have on-site parking and just as friendly as before. I wish they could be my dedicated account. Back in dock closed doors Make sure trailer is clean Tandems all the way back Pre cool...
