  • Turn off of Daniel Payne Dr. onto 32nd Ct W. to enter the facility. Speed limit is 15 mph.
  • You will come to the security building, at that point stop and give the guard a wave then proceed unless he opens the window and ask you to stop.
As you pass this point, the speed limit remains 15 mph
Speed limit briefly changes to 30 MPH until you get to the scale house
Look for the scale house on the left and pull on the scale to check in.
Follow all posted instructions.

ACIPCO requires all drivers to wear PPE before exiting the truck

  • Hard Hat
  • Safety Glasses
  • High Visibility Vest
  • Closed toe shoes
  • P&S Policy: Driver must wear long pants
  • Once you leave the scale the Speed limit will remain 15 mph throughout the facility

These yards and shippers are located across from the scale house.

  • A-yard
  • F-yard
  • Gasket warehouse
  • Vulcan Painters
  • L.B. Foster
  • If loading at one of these yards, when you exit the scale enter the road and make a right turn and go down the hill.
Sign showing yards on the right.
When you come to the stop sign at the Railroad tracks do not turn right.

If you need to load at yard B C D E Z or Steel Pipe, when you exit the scale and enter the roadway go straight for approximately ½ mile go down the hill to the stop sign. Turn right for Yards B C D E & Z or turn left for steel pipe loading.

  • If you make the left for steel pipe loading, you will see the Loaded trailers on the left and right side of the road.
  • Most of these loads are pre-loaded
Preloaded trailer are normally lined up on each side of the road.
Drop your empty trailer in the gravel lot on the right when possible
You must remain in truck while you are being loaded. The loading crew will then give you the pick ticket and instruct you if you will be required to pick up any other material from another yard and if you need to pick up gaskets. Picture above is an ACIPCO employee at the rear of the trailer.
Once loaded pull straight forward out of the loading zone, pull over to the side and throw 2 straps per stack before proceeding.

After you get your gaskets, you can pull forward and off to the side to finish strapping, or after you scale out, you can pull off to the right about 100 yards past the scale to finish up.
