    the plant makes bottles for gatorade and various other products. i think the name is Pacor or something close to that. they are located on Gator Lane just off I81 and I77.

    fast loading times. never been there more than 15 minutes. by the time i check in and get docked, i do not even have time to catch my log up and complete my trip pack paperwork before the light is green.

    great shipper. what makes it even better is that this place is my reload on thursday evening or friday mornings to get me back home every weekend.

    yeah not too bad.....i've never been in and out that quick but pretty quick nonetheless.....never more than 30 minutes checkin to pull out

    the load from the regular shipper going there is always a different story though lol

    never mind getting runs down there at all......a little surreal being out in the country on the 2 lane like that and then all of a sudden the industrial park....like something off a pink floyd album cover lol

    Anyone ever pick up at Campbells soup in Napoleon,Ohio. You get to the gate,give them your load number,they tell you which door to go to. At this point you've been there 1/2 hour. They tell you to go back to your truck ,they will call when its ready..They hand the Manifest to a picker and he picks the load. When he is done ,if they have a door available they call you and you back in.Now you have probably been there a few hours and you figure its time to go,well, they have to inspect the trailer,then you have count all the product,then as soon as the picker and lift operator get back from there lunch break they will load it. Alright. Time now is just about 8 to 9 hours of waiting.So,you pull out and head for the gate,and the guard tells you to go back to the door because they made an error. Now you have to wait for someone to correct this error and head you back to the gate. the guard looks up the trip # and gets the correct seal only to find out that it won't close now they have to make a phone call to the desk,let them know they are changing the seal and why. Finally I'm out of there after about half a day.So I head East on 6 through Bowling green and I hear everyone talking about a county Mounty on 75 s. Didn't pay any atten to it because I'm on 6 he's on 75. Someone said he just got off at the 6 exit,I look at my speedo and it said "you gonna get a ticket." Sure enough that officer ask me why I pulled over. I told him I knew he had me .Almost a great end to a lousy day. Thanks for listening.

    It's Amcor at 474 Gator Lane Off exit 77, I used to load there and run up to Cinaminson NJ , unload, reload and back. Longest time I had loading was after a holiday,, took a whopping 32 mins. I usually get loaded in less than 20 mins,, and when I returned with back-haul, if I took another load, It'd take no more than 30 mins to unload and then reload me.
    EVERY Amcor I've been at be it in Indiana , Pa. ,Oh, NJ ,, always the same, fast and friendly.

    Pic is from when My 3 sons rode with me to Amcor in Wytheville.
