• Approach via Designated Truck Routes: Inbound drivers should utilize NY-155 from I-87 (Exit 4 or 5) rather than residential side streets to ensure clean turning angles.
• Have Gate Entry Credentials Ready: Ensure you have your confirmation email or digital booking code available on your smartphone or ELD tablet prior to pulling up to the security entrance.
• Maintain Low Site Speeds: Adhere to the posted 5 mph facility speed limit to protect parked rigs, yard personnel, and maneuvering equipment.
