For truckers. No overnight parking. There is a plaza at the front but did not see any truck parked there. Nearest sleep location i94 exit 2 pilot. 10 parking spots only. I slept at exit 6 i94 TA. Courteous security guard and other staff members. Helps you back at the dock. Takes 1 hour to unload.
No overnight parking. No restrooms. Quick unloading. Rude guard check at night.
Very slow for pu.Also they dont have space to park untill is your turn.They will send u to home depot ,which is on the other side of the street.But there u are not welcome.
So , some kinda slow and some kinda ok place. They have to try to work as a team and everything is gonna be good. It takes while to upload me so I was surprised. Do your best and thanks for your service.
Vary ride guard. My appt. was at 2:00pm was there 40 minutes early. He told me thay do not have me on the list. I asked if I could pull up and call dispatch. He told me I have to leave the lot or I will be trespassing and he would call the police.
Very efficient process. Guard is thorough in directions around the facility. The routing around is well marked. Unloaders are helpful with instructions on procedure. Easy backs onto scales/docks. No overnight parking.
Cold-mill operator. 13+ years. I just keep my head down do my job and go home. Management can be cut-throat and savages towards each other.(which I don't understand) I steer clear of the that mess. I know my place. People take things to personal now-a-days. No employee is forced to stay at Jupiter, If you don't like your job try to better yourself and find something else. I'm genuinely happy for guys who get a better gig and can spend more time with there family. My advice to any young job seekers out there looking at reviews trying to decide if Jupiter Aluminum is the place for him/her is this. If your married, or have small children you won't see them much. Do take your significant other into consideration also because your wfe/gf/bf is going to take 25% off your responsibility as a parent simply because your WORKING or sleeping. That's it. If your single and just wanna make money this is the place for ya. Not all but MOST cold-mills, finishing, maintenance is on a 7-12's schedule. 5am to 5:30 pm for 7 days straight. 12 hour shifts. Followed by 4 days off (long weekend sat-tues) Then come back on Wednesday night 5:00pm to 5:30 am 7 days straight 12 hour shifts. Followed by 3 days off (wed-fri). Then repeat.. etc...etc... hope this helps
These people are friendly and they will load you in like 5-10 minutes! Wish more shippers were like this!
I get loaded in 10 mins. Just be careful with aluminium coil loads. I had 43000lbs of 4 coils, 1 in front, 2 middle and 1 in back. Secured with single strap from all sides and I was on US30 signal lights when my strap from middle break and 2 coils move forward and get damaged with trailer too... Ask them to nail some wood with pallets, or just put more straps in front of coils. Good luck
