Associated Foods in Farr West, UT advice

I was there last Oct. When you get to the check-in gate, near the dead-end, you call the phone number on a sign. (801) 786-8711 They will ask for your load number or PO number, I don't recall. I recall the number they are looking for starts with 142 or 144. They have 3 or 4 receiving offices depending on what products you are delivering. I was lucky to always drop and hook. I almost always went to the receiving office on the opposite/back side of the building from the entrance where you check in by phone. When you check in the guy on the phone will give you the Door Code, write it down. Punch that door code into the lock to get into the receiving office, if you go around back. When you are done, go out the same way you came in. No need to talk to anyone once you get your paperwork back. The exit gate opens when you get close enough to it.

Signs in the industrial park say no truck parking. You can park on the street near the entrance. There is a Maverick fuel stop and a Texaco fuel stop a couple of exits north of the Farr West exit. There is a couple of truck stops (Sinclair and another where I-15 & I-84 merge) slightly farther north. Trucker Path can show you those. Associated Foods is decent for a reefer customer.

Been there many times, one of my favorite places to deliver.

long street for parking/ taking a 10 if necessary..

pull up to the gate 30 minutes prior to delivery appointment..NO earlier.

Always were super fast unloading when I went.

I'm new to reefer, and I have to deliver to the Associated Foods DC in Farr West, UT tomorrow. I don't have an appointment time; my dispatch just says 3/12 0000 to 3/13 0000. Any tips on what's the best time to get there, check in procedure, parking/staging, etc would be helpful. I always see trucks lined down the street when I pass by on the interstate. I'm trying to avoid that if possible.Thank y'all in advance.

Having run reefer between Logan UT and Los Angeles CA I've delivered to the Associated Foods warehouse a number of times with back loads out of L.A. unfortunately if your in the delivery business waiting in line is all part of the game it can not be avoided without a book in time, you have three choices ring up dispatch and try and confirm a delivery appointment time, ring up receiving to confirm an appointment time, or just park up in line walk up to the receiving desk and see when they'll unload you.

You can call and verify the 30 minutes early info. What you wrote suggested to me you have a big window. It could mean "any time you like" on that day. Some loads are be here on the same day, and some are appointment times.
