Idaho Pacific Corporation

No signs to tell you what to do, 1. Come down dirt road at their sign it’s bumpy. 2. Park on scale and go in 2 sets of glass doors. 3. They have 2 docks behind a huge mud hole. 4. Once loaded go back on scale and go in for paperwork. 5. 43k load had to goto 12 hole because they loaded 2/1 (2 side by side 1 in middle) instead of just loading side by side all the way. So they don’t know how to load either. The people are nice, but slow... one start for being nice.

Beautiful
Aug 27th, 2018

The most nicest and helpful staff work here! The ladies in the front, greeted me with a beautiful smiles, clear instructions and a personable yet professional deminor! The loader on the dock was fast and friendly even though it was past his time to leave! While getting loaded I made great conversation with a fellow geology buff who works there! Great conversation with the beautiful young lady in the front office! I was even offered food by another fine young lady who was nothing but gracious in her offerings! Good people make for good memories! TRUCKERS: TO ENTER PLANT= DRIVE DOWN COUNTY ROAD 12 (112) ( TWELVE MILE RD) LEFT TURN= COUNTY ROAD 3 EAST RIGHT TURN= FIRST LONG DIRT DRIVEWAY (PAST FARMHOUSE) METAL SIGN WITH YELLOW FRAME, BLUE WRITING ON WHITE BACKROUND WILL SAY [ IDAHO PACIFIC COLORADO CORPORATION ] DIRT ROAD IS LONG, DO NOT DRIVE FAST. DIRT BOARD IS WASHBOARDED. ONCE YOU GET TO FACILITY YOU WILL SEE TWO DOCKS TO YOUR LEFT. DO NOT STOP THERE. SLOWLY CONTINUE TO THE SCALE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DIRT LOT, POSITIONED IN FRONT OF OFFICE. VERY SLOWLY PULL ON TO SCALE. SCALE IS NARROW SO MAKE SURE TRUCK AND TRAILER ARE STRAIGHT. PULL ALL AXLE ON TO SCALE. NOTICE TO YOUR LEFT THERE WILL BE TWO LIGHTS=YELLOW AND RED. WATCH THESE LIGHTS!!! A FLASH OF THE RED LIGHT MEANS YOU NEED TO SLIGHTY MOVE FORWARD ( JUST A FEW INCHES) SO THEY CAN ACCURATELY READ YOUR WEIGHT. ONCE THEY FLASH BOTH YELLOW AND RED.....THAT MEANS THEY HAVE YOU EMPTY WEIGHT. PULL OFF SCALE SLOWLY AND DONT TURN UNTIL YOUR TRAILER IS CLEAR....MAKE A LEFT HANDED U TURN AND PARK TO THE SIDE. WALK INTO THE OFFICE TO CHECK IN. ONCE YOU GET YOUR DOOR AND LOADING IS COMPLETE ( GREEN DOCK LIGHT) SLOWLY PULL BACK ONTO SCALE. WATCH THE LIGHTS. ONCE DONE WITH SCALE....MAKE ANOTHER U TURN TO THE LEFT. PAPERWORK, TRAILER SEAL AND AXLE WEIGHT TICKET WILL BE IN THE OFFICE! ONCE YOU DEPART....FUEL, PARKING AND FOOD ARE LOCATED TO THE SOUTH IN ALAMOSA= LOAF N JUG NORTHEST CORNER OF HWY 17 AND HWY 160 PARKING IS AVAILABLE BUT MAY BE LIMITED DO TO SIZE OF LOT IF YOU NEED TO GET FUEL= THEY HAVE 2 FULL PUMPS ( MAIN AND SATILITE) FOR BIG TRUCKS. WARNING......ONLY ONE TRUCK PER PUMP CAN BE PULLED INTO FUEL ISLAND TO FUEL. YOU CAN NOT WAIT BEHIND ANOTHER FUELING TRUCK BECAUSE YOU WILL BE BLOCKING ONE OF THE ENTRANCE/EXIT. IF TRUCKS ARR FUELING TRY YOUR BEST TO GO TO THE END OF THE LOT, TURN AROUND AND WAIT OFF TO THE SIDE AND OUT OF THE WAY. YOU WILL SEE WHY! ONCE FUELING IS DONE. DO NOT PULL FORWARD IF YOU HAVE A DUEL AXLE , SLEEPER TRUCK WITH 53 FOOT TRAILER. TRUCKS WITH A 40 FT TRAILER CAN MAKE THE TURN BY THE GAS PUMPS.....MAY BE HARDER WITH SLEEPER TRUCK AND 53 FT. PLUS THERE WILL MOST LIKELY CARS GETTING GAS. I DIDNT TEST TO SEE IF I WOULD FIT. I BACKED OUT. WHEN BECKING OUT BEWARE! YOU WILL POTENTIALLY HAVE TRUCKS PARKED RIGHT BEHIND YOU, YOU WILL HAVE CARS ENTERING DRIVEWAY AND EXITING THE SAME DRIVEWAY THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO BLOCK WITH YOU TRAILER. IF YOU ARE ON THE PUMP CLOSEST TO THE STREET THIS IS HOW YOU BACK OUT ( THIS IS HOW I DID IT) ......THE PUMP TO YOUR LEFT NEEDS TO BE CLEAR, NO TRUCK....TOTALLY EMPTY. STRAIGHT BACK OUT JUST ENOUGH SO THE NOSE OF YOUR TRACTOR CLEARS THE POLLS BY THE PUMP. TURN WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT AND SLOWLY DO A LEFT U TURN. *IF YOU HAVE A LONG WHEEL BASE TRUCK THIS MAY NOT WORK. I SUGGEST DROPPING TRAILER IN A SPOT AND FUEL BOBTAIL* ONCE YOU MAKE THE U TURN YOU CAN EITHER KEEP THE LFT TURN AND EXIT OR GO RIGHT TO PARK IN LOT. JUST BE SMART ABOUT EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE WHILE IN SMALL TOWNS LIKE THESE ESPECIALLY IF ITS YOUR FIRST TIME. STAY SAFE AND KEEP IT BETWEEN THE DITCHES!
