Cargill Meat Solutions — Local services in Newnan

I had a delivery appointment for 2pm. I got here at about 1:55pm. The guard said there are no appointments today and it's first come first serve (though the guard also said not always first come first serve FYI). I was put in staging about a mile away at 97 Amlajack Blvd, which is where their drop lot is. It's now almost 5pm, and I'm still in staging with no phone calls for a door. At least they have an inside area with a bathroom. I think I like drop and hooks here better because I've been to this drop lot before for drop and hook pickups out of here. The guard did estimate 4-4:30pm until they would have a door, so now I'm not sure just how long I'll be in staging after having had an appointment and showed up on time...

Once instructed, enter the yard, remove any locks, leave seal intact, slide tandems, dock with doors closed, disconnect and bobtail to park neat door 8.

They've been fairly quick every time...

Security staff very friendly and polite. They unload trucks in sets of 3. You will be directed to the drop yard to wait on a door. The facility itself is small but clean. It has a porta potty by the security office and no smoking is allowed on the property. Back with doors closed and seal intact. Receiving staff cuts the seal and opens doors from inside. Once they are done they will bring bills to you. Backing is manageable but it can get tight. Check in to check out about 3.5 hrs. Pilot and BP truck stopes 7.5 miles from receiver but reserve parking at pilot early. It gets...
