Easy enough to load. No signage for top loading stations and if you pull into the wrong gate be prepared for typical security guard attitudes. Friendly people once you get to where you are going. No extended parking.
Loads usually always ready. Be prepared to crank the landing gear down 90+ times. Not sure why the yard dog leaves it so high but its very frustrating
I work maintenance their. Not allowed to take photos. Or I'd post some.
Check in staff it gate very rude they try to check In while they are on a personal call and it was on speaker after getting through you wait a few hours 3 to 4 before they put you in a door
You guys are really good at making people late for work. Who runs a train at 730 in the morning? I hope one of your trains gets derailed.
2nd time here 1st time was preloaded this time have to wait to be loaded
Rude security staff. Took a wrong turn on their property, cause Google maps, said it was a short cut. Almost called the cops on me.
Checked in at midnight before my appt and my load was ready. 11hrs later I try to check out and I'm told they wanted to take stuff off the load. What were they doing all morning??
Showed up to pick up my load at the appointed time and they say they don t have the product. Wasted fuel time and money with no apology
Fairly good with timely loads. Has I/n parking for those waiting on same day loads.
Genuinely picking up from here isn't bad. The signage to get back to lot 21 could be a little more clear specifically at the right hand turn at the tracks but otherwise no complaints
Didn't take long to offload with appt but have your paperwork in order
They repeatedly over loaded our trailer. Took 3 days for them to get the load right. Missed Thanksgiving. This was supposed to be drop and hook quick in and out.
I check in at 7:30 before appointment at 8:00, so now 15:05 they still don't give me a door yet that's crazy
No problems just had to drop mt trl in right place & find loaded trl & then out to gate for bols and on down the road
Second time here, June 2020 Arrived 1355 for our 1500 appointment, picking up full load chilled product. As before, the woman at the guard gate was wonderful. As before we were sent to Row C. But this time we had to wait until 1800 to get our dock assignment. They started loading us at 1950. We were done and out the gate at 2100. Horrible. Seven hours. Shame on them. ######### April 2020 Arrived early 1150 for our 1400 appointment. Woman at the gate was very friendly. We were told to park in Row C (past the second guard shack & over the train tracks), and wait for someone to come tell us a gate. We got a dock at 1215. They started loading us at 1245. We were out the gate at 1305.
Would be a great place to pick up from if they'd let you call to find out if your load is ready, but alas you can't, so you have to constantly be going back and forth to find out if it's ready or not, but at least they've started to let you park here again.
I truly thank the guard at the shack for letting me drop my trailer, even though there was some issues with my delivery. They always have the trailer ready to go when it's a drop and hook.
Entrance is off of 9th st not 9th ave. Very long wait time to get unloaded here. They are in no hurry. Guards are nice enough. No bathrooms available. You have to wear a safety vest anytime you get out of your truck. Better than a Wal-Mart but not by much. If you're not doing a drop and hook here be ready to spend a few hours.
Fast loading but don t have overnight parking Have to bobtail to walmart
Pretty much always drop n hook, in and out, no OT parking, guard is usually a hit or miss on being friendly. No restrooms rhat ive seen.
Had 6am appointment arrived at 5am in door at 6 and empty at 6:45 am Nice people
Been here since 11:45 am on Monday the 18th. It s now 1:38 am on Tuesday and they don t even have my load ready.
Load is always ready. Yard dogs cram trailers tight, so dealing with the landing gear in these loads can be rough. Biggest complaint is they stuff the trailer full, and pay pennies per mile. Welfare juice.
Very well clean maintain facility Well secured well mannered employees I can't say as much for their competitor !
Tooo slow I check in 12:15 pm and they give me a dock after15 min like 12:30 pm but now time is 3:47pm and still wait but they never start loading the trailer on dock and refer is on trailer door is open but the dock door still close log book still on duty but they don t care i give 1 if they have any option to zero star then i give zero
Live in Bradenton. Great juice, but my goodness their morning trains are horrendous. Gentle with the horn Mr. Operator!
If I never come back here it will be too soon, at the moment as I write this I ve been here 7 hours and they still haven t started to load me. They say there s no over night parking well we will see about that. My hours are gone for the day so I m going nowhere.
Tropicana is a place where they juice fruit make different kind of fruit drinks and they ship them all over the world
Shipping and receiving entrance it s off 9th Street . Get off exit 220 to 64 west follow that to 9th , make a left , 4th traffic lights make a left again . Easy in , easy out . Loading it s always efficient for me .
No parking around and do not show up early 2 hours max ahead of appointments
The worst place sat for 3 hours and nothing never coming back and won't buy any Tropicana .Yard jockey told us a door well that was the loading side after a lot of phone calls they made them unloaded us.
Loads are not going to be ready on time waited for 6 hours extra and was still not ready.
Working at Tropicana for 30 years have really helped my family and friends really works really like working at this plant
I like my apple juice just wish it was from USA apples
Supposed to be Preloaded picked up here. End it up have to wait on the line to get back to the dock to get pallets off of the trailer. Seriously? And that much time left of driving.. big mistake to come here with several hrs of driving left.
