Pick up loads to this facility from time to time and they will reject you if your trailer has pallet pieces, dust/debris, and what not inside of it (understandable) even though what Iโ€™m about to explain I believe could have a worst impact to our health, however today waiting to be loaded I noticed a water tanker backing in to pump water into their facility had a dent in their tank like if it hit something and there was a decent puncture in which the water was leaking out to the floor as he backed in to the facility pumps and I told the inside workers who deal with the water that gets brought here and she said ok and didnโ€™t do anything about it, instead allowed the man to still pump him water into their facility mind you the hole is directly facing the trucks exhaust pipe so one could only imagine as the smoke came out on the ride here it was contaminating the water even if at small amounts. Being that Niagara supplyโ€™s a lot of peopleโ€™s bottled water locally and nationally you would think they would care about something like that. Well if anyone gets sick from drinking bottled water from Niagara in Allentown on industrial Blvd just know it probably happens every day because Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™ll continue to let that tanker deliver here. The truck company is Bryan Miller trucking .Tank number T021 if I could post pics and a video here I would !

Need a better one on one security guards rather than call buttons and automated screens .....the driver drives he dont need to be doing the shippers and receivers job and this is lazy and makes them look bad to drivers ..but I will say employees are nice

A shuttle service is supposed to bring my loaded trailer from the bottling to a drop lot and I dont think anybody from the shuttle service was working today. And they didnt tell the third party service that runs the drop lot no one was working to bring loaded trailers over

Review โ„–22

Average place to pick up at, as long as they arent too crowded. There are no driver facilities, at least from asking other drivers in the docks here. I never had to ask before, so never thought of it, until this time, when I needed a restroom.It usually doesnt take too long to load, however, so I can hold it until I leave. Only a couple of blocks to the Wawa.Just watch for the green light. The first time I was here, I sat here for 30 minutes with a green light before another driver told me I was supposed to leave when it turned green. Oops. My bad.

Easily accessible location. Follow the blue signs to truck gate. Use the call box at the gate and give person your pickup #, delivery location and broker name. I arrived 13 minutes prior to appointment time and got a door right away. Loaded within 45 minutes. Exit is to your left when pulling out of the docks. Stop at the guard shack to get your paperwork & seal. You seal it yourself.I wouldโ€™ve given a 5 star rating if I was instructed what to do after I got a green light at the dock door. No one who works there told me that I had pull out and and drive up to the guard shack. I sat there for 10 minutes after green light until another driver told me that he had my door and that I had to head over to guard shack.

Review โ„–31

Decently organized, they have a call box and a one-way yard with a clear marked exit. Plenty of room to park at the dock door. I was given a door and began loading within an hour. I have no clue where they may have facilities that are driver friendly at the dock, though. Theres one port-a-pot I see that seems to be from an outside construction company that is padlocked.

Review โ„–32

Truck Driver. Get here for your appointment time. In my experience they rarely will take you early. No parking on site. Sometimes is a real quick load. Shortest amount of time Iโ€™ve been here was 20 minutes. Sometimes itโ€™s painfully long. Sat there for 5 hours and then left empty because I was going to run out of time.

Great place to pick up water. They always have heavy loads but they load pretty fast. 5th time here and always willing to take me early and even if i am late they wont refuse me. Usually 1-2 hours from one gate to other.

Review โ„–43

Niagara Bottling is a predatory company that sneaks into communities to take our public water for their private profit. They came to my town, Bloomfield CT and hid their plans from local citizens and made back room deals with our town council and water company to buy our public water at great discounts. In FL they sued a town that tried to protect their water. DONT SUPPORT NIAGARA BOTTLING, NESTLร‰ OR BOTTLED WATER COMPANIES. Be smart, save money and our most precious natural resource: drink tap water.

Way too many trucks trying to get in at the same time. Waited online for over 3 hours. Only reason I give 3 stars is because the people in the guard shack managed the trucks fairly well.

I didnt get a chance to pickup my load from these guys cause my starter went out right at the entrance gate. They were very patient with me while the mechanic installed my new starter. The truck entrance is off industrial.

Trucker review - great place! You never have to leave the cab of your truck. Get your door assigned to you at the entrance gate. Back in, load and get your papers at the exit guard shack. People are friendly, Rarely does it take longer than 45 minutes start to finish.

Great place to load. The time from bumping the dock to green light was 25 min for 44,660 lbs. Total time from check in to check out was 35 min. There is NOT overnight parking here. There is a Wawa about 1 mile North with truck parking.

Review โ„–61

Pretty quick load time, I was out an hour after my scheduled appt time. Friendly employees. Their yard is a little small and not much room for parking, but as long as your a decent driver, its not that bad.Reason for 2 stars: they load heavy and lie about weight! Empty my truck and trailer weighs 34.5k lbs with full barrels. paperwork says load weighed 42,638lbs and I only had 1/2 tank of fuel....but i was 640lbs over gross... you do the math.Went back for a rework was out in 2hrs. All in all not a completely horrible experience, but a pain in the A$$. Cost me my second load for the day.Update/addition: BOL originally said there was 18 pallets, after rework BOL said there was 17 pallets. At the receiver, they and I both counted 19 pallets. So, again either they lie about the amount of product on the trailer or they just dont know how to count.

Receiving and dispatch personnel are rude will make you sit and wait at the gate while checking in for any length of time for no reason. Personnel have no clue on what they are doing and will also hang up on you while checking in at the gate through the phone. If you are picking up a pre-loaded trailer you have to go to another yard to pick up the trailer.

Dont be early will be told to leave and come back, dont on time either because by the time you wait in the line for 2 hours to check in you will be late and then they will work you in. No scale on site they will load over 45 closer to 45,800. Not coming here ever again.
