✅ Arrival and Entry 📍 Navigation: Follow the route exactly as shown on the map for the correct entrance. 📍 Early Arrival: You can arrive early; you will simply be directed to join the existing queue. 📍 Gate Protocol: While official entry typically begins at 12:00 AM, security guards often walk the line earlier. They may check your BOL and occasionally grant entry or assign a dock door well ahead of schedule.
✅ Unloading vs. Paperwork 📍 Important: Getting a door early does not mean you will leave early. 📍 Even if you are unloaded ahead of time, the Registration Office (Door #41) does not open until 4:00 AM. Once you are backed into a door and unloaded, you should use that time to rest.
✅ Example Timeline (for Reference) 📍 6:00 PM: Arrived and joined the queue. 📍 10:00 PM: Security allowed entry and assigned a door. 📍 10:00 PM – 5:00 AM: Slept/Rested while the trailer was processed. 📍 5:00 AM: Handed the BOL to the office (Door #41). 📍 5:20 AM: Received signed paperwork and was cleared to depart.
✅ Summary: Park at your assigned door, get some sleep, and head to Door #41 right at 4:00 AM to finalize your paperwork.”
