Smurfit Westrock Paperboard Mill — Local services in Town of Geddes

Pros: 24hours, easy to park considering in NY. Cons: long wait to get a door, longer wait to get unloaded. it's not easy to figure out how it works here if you come for the first time.

tips: Please see the map I uploaded. first, you drive to check in point pinned on map, and communicate with them via a call box. you are gonna give them the NUMBER, and they will tell you to go to scale 2 pinned on the map. when you drive onto scale 2, there's another call box with a air pipe box. WRITE DOWN your PHONE NUMBER on your BOL and put them in a bottle located in the air pipe box. they are gonna ask you to park somewhere to wait for a call. once you got the call, they ll tell you the door number, and back your trailer there. when finished, drive back to scale 2, they ll give you back the paperwork via the air pipe box.

First, you communicate with an intercom upon arriving at the facility. The intercom tells you what door to go to. Second, the door you were told to go to by the intercom is where you walk into. Here is where you properly check-in with shipping/receiving clerk. Although the word SCALE is written on many of the signs I do not believe that they are intended for OTR drivers looking to scale their load on the way out. Proper CAT scales are available near by, simply check TruckersPath app. Staff were polite...
