Updated: Hormel ask Truck drivers to use exit 179 to enter and leave the facility. Photo of map included with the new directions to factory.

Very easy to get to. Factory is right off interstate 90 exit 178B.
Truckers will need to follow signs all the way to the back end of the factory and enter off of Hormel Dr.
You will be signed in at first guard gate, then proceed to next guard gate. Stop at stop sign and walk into the brown guard house/dispatch building. The truckers entrance is to the left, clearly marked truckers entrance. Tanker drivers check in at window to the right. Pick up and delivery drivers check in at window to the left. Again signs clearly stating what to do.
There is no parking at facility if your load is not ready.
You have a Kwik Trip stop at exit 179 or you can go 15 miles west and park at the Petro or Loves in Albert Lea, i35 exit 11.
Security at brown building will advise you the status of your load when checking in.
You must have a six digit pickup number, currently beginning with an 8 when this was posted.
