What clients say about Transmetco in Huntington (IN)
Not a bad place to pick up from at all. The location is pretty easy to get to, and there are various main State Routes to take to get here depending obviously which direction you're coming from. Myself, I came North up I-69, Exit 273 to take SR 218 West, then up SR 9, right onto W 200 N, then left onto Riverfork Dr. SR's 9 & 24 seem to be the best (and easiest) from the North and East as well. While not the biggest location, there's still a decent amount of space to move around in.
As others have stated, when entering the drive, go straight onto the scale, and use Channel 5 or head into the office (clearly marked) while still on the scale to check in. Do the exact same as soon as you have a green light after being loaded/unloaded: head to the scale and then gp to the office to collect BOL.
The people there were really nice, which makes a pleasant change from the usual miserable ones we can deal with. I was here for about 4hrs 30mins, but that's because the load I was picking up was loaded onto a different driver, so had to wait, but we're only human and mistakes do happen. If not for that, I would probably have only been there for about an hour, if that.
Waterworks Rd is truck restricted. Whether local or OTR roadwork is in progress. Some may drive thru. Don’t recommend! Found out twice driving across US-224 to OH-5. Drive into town and turn on Etna Ave to CO RD 200 North. LT onto Riverfork Dr. Setup on opposite side to pull onto scale. Took me four attempts. Staff will sometimes greet you at the scale or pull onto and walk inside. Office will inspect trailer for any damage and assign you a door. Park off to side near dumpsters if awaiting door assignment. Office staff is very professional and will take care of you. Overnight Parking!
Park on the scale and walk inside to check in. Back into whatever dock they tell you. After getting loaded pull back on the scale. Walk back inside to get final paperwork. Everything took roughly an hour and a half between getting loaded and checking in and out.
Get on scales when you arrive then walk inside . Be prepaired to wait these people are nice but they load 🐌 🐌 SLOW . I was second in line and was there over 4 hours. They have no gate so i assume you could sleep here.. oh and yard it a mud pit so be ready..
Wonderful people be on time they stop receiving at 2 open at 7 am extremely friendly people accommodating for disabled drivers will come here again!!!!
To the people that say this place was bad you're ridiculous i was here on time did what i was supposed to in and out 45 minutes.
Got a door right away
Overnight parking allowed. Limited space. You have to get on the scale. Check in get off the scale. They will give you a door if one is available. If not park in front of the docks so that you can back in when it is your turn. Onc they unload you get back on the scale and go back to office to get your bills.
Overall nice place to go not sure if it is something new that they unload and put the product all the way outside in the back while the truck driver is sitting in the dock. Just thinking my time wouldn't be wasted if you unload the trailer and let the driver go while you are putting everything away which is all of a 1/4 mile plus per trip
Fast unloading, they only thing you better know is, before you check in park your truck on scale and then go to shipping office, as well as once you unload, and get your green light pull forward and close your doors, then go on scale again, and go back to shipping office for your paper work. overnight parking is allow
Checked in at 6:40am for 7:00am appointment and i was out at 8:15am. Make sure you park your truck on the scale in and out and wait for them to waive at you
Great people one and half hour took to unload overnight parking yes must go scale when you enter then go check in when empty go scale and check out paper work
One of the worst places to deliver. My Appointment was 9am i was here at 8am it's now 12:30pm and still waiting for door. Not too big parking with a lot of trucks just sitting and waiting just like me. Avoid this place if you can. But the people who work here are friendly
The directions are very good and save you 10 miles and a half hour. The only problem is that it takes you into 2 miles of roads at the very end of the route that are NO TRUCKS. I am always in a tractor trailer or 4 axle roll off truck. We need to somehow figure out this issue with Google because I do run into this issue often. Sorry, no pics this time.
Great place to load out of I never have to wait long to get at the dock the people are very nice and know what they are there to do get it done and you are on your way, wish they all were like this
Drivers… set your CB to Channel 5 and pull on the scale and stop. (yea, there should be a sign directing you, just to say CH 5) Have bill of lading ready to give info. They’ll weigh you, then direct you to a door if available, otherwise gotta wait. Do not break your seal, they will do it for you, once unloaded/loaded, close up and go back on scale. Yes, lot is dry road and dust is everywhere but get over it.., It’s a factory and driver comfort or dust on your pavement princes is least if their worries. Time from loaded on scale, offload full 53' van and back on scale, hour 15 mins or so.
Apt at 11 , arrived at 10 , took over 3 hours to get loaded, 2 truck came after me they got a dock , bad experience except for shipping customer service that was good overall. Btw dirty lot .
Good place to deliver to. Took awhile to unload. They took me in at 0745 when my appointment was for 1300. Scale in and out. Pull on Scale when you arrive.
I'm compelled to post this review, considering the other reviews and the complete mismatch with my experience. I arrived at 740 for a 7am appointment. Yeah, I admit it, I simply overslept. They took me right in and I was empty and rolling in about an hour and a half. Very nice and courteous folks. No lecture about being late, it was a non-issue.
Don't come here... Appt was at 1300 was told I wasn't on schedule. Showed them the purchase order receipt confirming that they ordered to wheels and was told to come back next day yet there was no one slotted for the 1300 appt but I got to be a "work in". It's just 1400 next day and I'm just now leaving. Can't get anything until tomorrow... These locations know how to screw over drivers.
Got here early. Got a door. But did not start unloaded me until appointment time. Took a very long time to unloaded me. Can understand why it takes so long to get unloaded
Scale it before you go to the shipping or receiving i came here 11:00 and now is 1:05pm waiting to get a door. They only have one door receiving so everybody waiting on dock#3
Excellent experience. Very friendly staff. They use CB channel 5 for the scale. Scale in and out whether you're loading or unloading. Overnight parking ok, but limited.
There was only a wait because other trucks were there they are good ppl I was there longer bc my batteries died while waiting and 1 of the employees came with cables
Good gosh don't be 1 min late to your appt. as a truck driver or u will sit ALL day waiting to get a load in or out!! This is unreal!! We were late due to weather by 10 mins and now it has cost me my next load!! 😵😡😵😡😠👿
Easy place , nice and friendly people , they took some time to put you in dock and to unload or load if they are busy otherwise they don't took so long .
Don't open your seal, wait for the guy from office . He will tell you which door you have to back in . Don't open your seal just back in to door and office guy will open the seal and will let you know when you are good to back in dock .
