We are excited to announce that beginning this week, we will be transitioning to a new drop lot located in Teutopolis, IL. Our current drop lot in Effingham will remain available through the end of March during this transition period.
Why This Change
This new location offers several benefits that will improve trailer condition, organization, and turnaround time:
- A well-maintained and organized lot
- Daily lot checks
- On-site repairs and inspections
- Trailer tires stocked at location
New Drop Lot Location
Trailers will now be parked at Dale’s Diesel in Teutopolis, IL. They have provided us access to their north lot for trailer parking. A map has been included to show the designated area for dropping trailers.
Address: 1608 W Main Street, Teutopolis, IL 62467 217-857-3196
Loaded trailers are to be dropped on the north side of the lot
Empty trailers are to be dropped on the south side of the lot
Dropping and Hooking Trailers
Dale’s Diesel will be using a cone system that we are required to follow to keep the lot organized.
- Green cones will be placed in front of open parking spots.
- When dropping a trailer, move the cone, back the trailer into the spot, and place the cone behind the trailer.
- When pulling a trailer out, place a cone in the open spot after the trailer has been removed.
- Please back trailers in carefully, keeping them aligned in a straight line with spacing of no more than 3 feet between trailers.
This facility is clean and organized, and it is important that we help keep it that way. DO NOT throw trash on the ground. All trash must be disposed of in the dumpster.
Checking Trailers in for Repair
When checking a trailer in for repair:
- Go inside and provide the unit number and explain the issue.
- You will be given a red tag to place on the trailer, marking it out of service.
