Getting here
Finding the yard
Montopolis Drive runs south from Riverside Drive toward the old Del Valle line, through the industrial pocket between the airport and the Colorado River. We are on the east side, behind a gated entrance, with the yard visible from the road.
- From Highway 71 / Ben White: exit Montopolis and head north. About six minutes.
- From I-35: take Riverside east, then south on Montopolis. About twelve minutes from downtown.
- From SH-130: west on 71, then north on Montopolis. Convenient from Bastrop, Manor and the eastern build-out.
- From ABIA: under ten minutes. Genuinely practical if you are in town for the day.
Tractor-trailers have room to turn inside the gate. If you are arriving with a gooseneck or a 48-foot flatbed, come in the main entrance rather than the side gate.
Schematic — not to scale
Visiting
What to bring, what to expect
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| A truck or trailer that takes a 48 × 40 in pallet | Every tote sits on one |
| Ratchet straps | We don't supply them, and we won't load you without securement |
| Closed-toe shoes | Working yard, forklifts moving |
| An idea of what's going in the tote | It determines the grade we'd recommend |
| Your order reference, if you sent one | So the stock is already staged |
| Payment method | Card or ACH; net-30 on approved accounts |
