Looking for a bit of guidance here, folks.
Google Earthed it, and it appears a rather large industrial complex. I'm wondering, where is access to the guard house or the S&R office?
I was given the address 1901 Main St., but it looks like I'll be cutting toward 347 19th St.
Ring true for anyone familiar with the site?
Thanks for any help!

Never been there, and not likely to ever go, but was curious about the set up and it looks to me like the truck entrance is a couple hundred feet north of 23rd street. It's flagged as the WestRock Shipping Center and also appears to match the Street View image associated with the WestRock address given by having a large tank on the left (south) side and some refrigeration chillers to the right (north) side and a tall materials pile in the background. Doesn't appear to be any staging area so my bet would be on dock assignments and bills through the guard shack.

The main entrance to the guard house for the complex is off of Main St/King William Ave. the trailer storage area is next to the entrance. Sometimes there's a line of trucks out into the street so be prepared. They also require a safety vest and hard hat to be worn at all times on the property. I've been there a few times picking up/delivering paper rolls and cardboard. Also,before you go there make your trailer is in good order(no leaks,holes in the trailer otherwise they will reject the trailer- its been my understanding that they only take 2007 model year or newer trailers now).
KillingTime Thanks this. -
I think because I was in and out for a pre-load I got away without the vest or hard hat.
Thanks for the 411 guys. -
Another thing I forgot to mention when you go there- make sure you have plenty of DOT time, as these jokers don't allow drivers to sleep/sit on the property.

Are you talking about RockTenn?
-
Yup. Officially it's WestRock now. Regardless of the name change you still deal with douchebaggery all the same.
-
Yea. I used to go there it's always sucked
-
You don't want to take a 10 there.. You'll never get that smell out. Never had an issue with not wearing the hard hat or the vest but always had to sweep out.
Look on google maps, the pin is right where the truck entrance is. Line sucks.Attached Files:
