Costco Distribution — Local services in Katy

I was here to deliver a truck load of Washington apples. My paperwork said arrive by 4:45 PM. I arrived at 4:30 PM. I was told that deliveries only happen in the morning. And I need to go to a truck stop. Come back at 5 AM tomorrow. I discovered something about truck stops in Texas that I did not know before. There's a very small section of free parking. Everything else you have to pay to stay overnight. And the free parking is always full. Anyways, I arrived the next day at 5 AM. There were maybe 10 trucks in line ahead of me. I checked in at the guard booth and was given a pager. And told to go park around the corner inside the facility. When the pager goes off, that tells you what door to back into.

Stay away if you can. Hope I don't deliver again or they improve their...

Pager will repeat which door to back up to and you open the door and slide the tandems. There is not much room if you got trucks on either side so you'll need to open your doors beforehand. From there back up and wait for your pager to buzz and flash red telling you to check out. Not much for parking nearby but apparently you can show up after 5pm to park overnight if you have a morning appointment. I choose to drive through morning Houston traffic and really regretted every...
