Gateway Refrigerated

Gateway Refrigerated is a reliable choice for reefer delivery, situated in a remote village with a large lot. The staff is friendly and efficient, with quick check-in and unloading times averaging around 1.5 to 2 hours. It is a small, out-of-the-way place with professional folks and a respectful quiet atmosphere. The location is easy to access by Missouri 47 off of i70, leading to a drop trailer lot above the cave area where trucks can park. Drivers can park on the left side after going down the hill and walk to the check-in door or use their CB radio on the posted channel. All docks are outside, and check-ins are done with paperwork while sitting in the truck. Unloading is straightforward with drivers backing into the door and waiting. After unloading, drivers can go back up the hill to complete paperwork and then leave the same way they entered, taking care on the rural road when turning back onto i70. Cell service is limited and not very strong, but there are bathrooms and vending machines at the check-in area. The location has a unique, somewhat mysterious vibe, with some drivers joking about underground food storage near a military training camp. Travelers are advised to download all necessary food, load info, navigation, and entertainment before arriving since cell service is not reliable. The staff is helpful, and despite connectivity issues, many drivers appreciate the smooth operations and plan to return when possible.
