United States Cold Storage - Tulare North

Check-in at 2:10 PM. Before arrival I pre-cooled the trailer, but apparently it wasn’t enough — they demanded exactly minus 5°C. Mine was at 0°C. They told me: “Leave and come back when it’s minus 5.” It’s almost impossible to cool down an empty trailer to minus 5 when it’s 110°F outside with no shade at all. I finally managed to hit the required temperature only by 9 PM. Even then, after they gave me a door, they didn’t start loading until 2:00 AM. Finished loading at 3:30 AM, and I got my paperwork around 4:00 AM. So basically, check-in at 2 PM, out at 4 AM — that’s a 14-hour waste of time. Positives: They do have restrooms for drivers, enough space to maneuver, and a nearby road where you can park, even overnight. But overall — ridiculous requirements, extreme delays, and a total lack of respect for drivers’ time.

Honestly this is one of the better places I've had deliveries and pick-ups. I get there early if I had a delivery they've been pretty dang quick about it. Pick ups are where this place shines for me. They always have the trailers ready early so I am in and out as fast as can be.

They will load ur trailer in 4-5 hours slide tendems necessary don’t open gate unless their inspector wil come nd told u easy back up
