Costco Dry Depot #175 — Local services in Monroe Township

PARKING INFO FOR TRUCKERS - Parking on site on Costco property available/open only after 2:00 am. There are temporary parking along Costco drive with signs “no parking”. New Jersey has a no street parking between 2am to 6am so keep that in mind that you may get a ticket parking anywhere even without the sign. Outside the Freightliner dealership on South River Rd there is also street parking/road shoulder. Alternative parking also available at Molly Pitcher Service area on i95. The nearest truck stop is Petro truck stop 20 miles away but it is $25 to park and gets pretty busy in the afternoon, would not recommend going if arriving late in the day.

For my experience here, I have a load picking up from the Dry Depot, docked at the back end of the building. Did not receive a buzzer. Was given a dock number, waited for truck that was loading, about half an hour wait and once docked, it was fairly quick within one hour it was all done. Exiting Costco property had quite a long line up but did not take more than 20 minutes. There are portable toilets near the docks. Overall easy in and out but parking is a hassle if you come the night before. Lots of trucks waiting and it’s definitely better to find somewhere else to park outside NJ and head to Costco in the morning. Save yourself the trouble of not getting a spot to park or a parking ticket. Would not mind...

COVID 19 UPDATE current 3/21 Bullpen opens at 2am for you to pull in and park. No parking on road into facility, you will find trucks parked on both sides of the street but they risk being ticketed. Once you pull into bullpen you can check in 1 hour before your scheduled appt, by walking to the guard shack with your mask. Costco will provide you with a pager and assign you a door. Pull to the door, if a truck is in the door stage up and when their pager goes off yours will too and you can bump the dock when they pull out. Unload window generally is about an hour. When unloaded your dock light will turn green and pager will go off. Return to guard shack and they will give you your bills back. DO NOT CLOSE TRAILER DOORS UNTILL YOU PULL PAST GUARD SHACK No parking in the bullpen past 10a. The restroom facilities onsite are porta Johns. A truck stop is a block north that accommodates 4 trucks and Wawa a mile up the road further north with 30min parking 24/he deli north or south on the turnpike are service plazas where you can...

Up from 1 star review. Due to construction of new guard shack the staging area for trucks is now open again for overnight parking.

Please for the love of God do not finish the guard shack and fire all of those people so the drivers can use the staging area in peace.

It is so relaxing to pull into the stage area without Paul Blart the mall cop harassing you. For the few drivers that are problematic please ban them and their company from the facility.

Anyhow follow my directions AYOR.
