Visitor & Driver Tips
Commercial drivers are advised to coordinate parking access in advance, particularly during peak agricultural harvest seasons and high-volume freight shipping windows when regional truck parking demand is heavily elevated. When dropping trailers, ensure landing gear pads are firmly secured on solid ground pads. Utilize East Brundage Lane when navigating to and from State Route 58 to ensure smooth travel along truck-designated routes, avoiding narrower residential neighborhood side streets. Always verify gate check-in protocols and stall assignments prior to arrival to guarantee a seamless entry and exit process.
