Drivers are encouraged to check local weather conditions for the Eastern Panhandle, as the I-81 corridor can experience significant seasonal traffic fluctuations. For safety and security, always ensure that your vehicle is locked and that any high-value cargo is monitored. We recommend arriving at off-peak hours during heavy holiday traffic seasons to secure a preferred spot near the facility entrance. Always keep your CDL documentation and parking permits easily accessible for quick verification by facility personnel if required.
