    Just looking for the good and bad on the Costco distribution center in Salt Lake City. I am assuming it's a distribution center, my paperwork does not say.

    This will be my first time to Salt Lake. I normally drive in the south from Texas to South Carolina.

    Any other tips that might help me out up there would be greatly appreciated.

    Like most Costco DC's very efficient. Give your bills to the guard shack and get a buzzer, when you're unloaded the buzzer goes off, go back to the guard shack and get your bills back. Last time I was there I was in and out in 30 minutes.
     
    BigfootWRL Thanks this.

    Update on my experience. The operation was smooth and fairly quick. Young guy at the entrance gate does all the paperwork handling. He was polite and friendly as was the guy that checked me out when I left. It was an easy back even for me and me still learning my new truck. Plenty of room.

    The best part was probably when my buzzer contraption went off telling me they were finished, a polite woman came to my truck to inform me that the forklift operator noticed a portion of my trailer floor had been pushed up when the pallets were loaded at the shipper. They did not have to tell me that and I wouldn't have noticed till I swept out the next time. It was only a small spot, probably 8-10 inches long and 3 inches wide and not all the way through. Easy fix and they let me work on it just outside the entrance building, still on their property.

    I would not mind going there again and may do so this week.
