What clients say about Cooper Tire Distribution Center in Alburtis (PA)
Great place to deliver. I was drop/hook, got in and out fast. Even with no paper bol (mixup with another driver who took wrong load). Easy docking, make sure you go all the way around back for Tire Mart delivery.
1 building 2 businesses, tire hub gate is on the new quarry rd, I went in the wrong way and once I found the security check pointe the guard who's name is Robert just chuckled and showed me the proper way to get to gate, instead of screaming at me for being a dumb truck driver he was very friendly and very kind, I explained that we need more people like him and that I wish there was a person like him everywhere I went....more than 5 stars
The bldg is TireHub now. Opens at 6am. 2.5 hrs for a live unload of floor loaded tires.
S Smith below gives perfectly detailed instructions on how to get here with all the truck restrictions on the neighboring roads.
Overnight parking is allowed on the west side of the building, just don’t block any dock doors. You can park along the row of dropped trailers on that side. Friendly guard shack. I didn’t see any accessible restrooms and if you’re here for a live load/unload it’ll take some time so be prepared.
I gave a 4star because every simply accessed road to this place is closed and every other rd surrounding is truck restricted. The easiest, most direct is:
Schoeneck Rd
Right @ Alburtis Rd
Left @ Quarry Rd(continue to end of rd, it will say closed)
Follow Quarry around to the right
Driveway is just before road closed barriers
If you are coming here then don’t come here from spring creek road as their is construction going on so just make turn to SCHOENECK ROAD from 100 highway and then ALBURTIS ROAD, now this is detour
Truckers when u get to this location there are two business with 8000 but Cooper tires is where dock 1-39 around the back not where gps tell u wheres around 70s-80's to get to cooper go down to the curve. Go around the curve n u will see a park around the entrance n cooper's tires truck entrance across the street.
Truckers, here they make it obvious you’re an inconvenience to their day for delivering their load. But still attentive nonetheless, however no restroom in this place NOT even a porta potty; was told to detach and go down a few miles to a Wawa… unlucky for them that it was too cold outside for me to leave a generous tip
Easy drop n hook, when coming in off 100 south, turn right on schoeneck rd, then right on alburtis. Do not listen to the other review stating go down by McDonald's and turn right on alburtis. Since quarry road is closed turn in the lot on the other side and you'll see a sign that says entrance on the fence, follow it around into employee parking and go around the building to guard shack. I've attached a photo showing.
Charles Carpenter nailed it! Read his review below.
I have dropped and hooked here for years. Javier is awesome...courteous and professional.
Due to road construction on Quarry Road (downhill bend right) the main entrance is at northwest corner of building (empties lot), continue to stay left through employee parking lot.
Be careful coming here. DO NOT FOLLOW GPS!! Come in off 100 and turn on Schoeneck Rd and take that all the way down to Alburtis Rd turn right and then right on Quarry Rd follow that to the entrance. There's a length restriction on Quarry and there's signs saying no truck turn on Quarry from 100. Follow the route I posted and it's easy to get in. Cops waiting for someone to screw up I'm sure and from what I've heard, it's a $400 mistake. Stay safe all...
A nightmare to get in there because this is a truck-hating, not-in-my-backyard, but we love the tax money for the economy little town that should never have giant warehouses built around here. All the roads are marked, "No Trucks Over 45 Feet In Length". Call this place and get directions from the shipping/receiving office prior to going in. DO NOT USE YOUR GPS! $400 tickets from the local, do-nothing to help cops if you end up literally north of the railroad tracks. Staff was great, plenty of room to maneuver for backing, and some overnight parking.
Easy in and out once you figure out where the truck entrance is. My GPS took me to the rear of the building which kinda looked like an entrance. I soon realized I needed to go to the other side. I located the office, and was promptly and politely waited on by a very nice gentleman who signed for the shipment and gave me a door to drop my trailer. I couldn't have been there more than 20 minutes and bobtailed out. Only one yard dog and another otr trucker were on the lot while I was there, so no problem maneuvering etc. I'm sure it can be busy at times, though.
OTR DRIVERS, you must come in from West end of quarry rd. From cooper to rt 100 is truck restricted. Going south on rt 100, go past quarry rd, turn right on Alburtis rd,(this is an alternate route on your gps) McDonald's will be on left side of intersection. And while a drop and hook is quick and painless, here you are just a driver and treated as such.
