Strategic Location

GSO1 is situated on Old Greensboro Road in Kernersville, in the heart of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad—roughly midway between Greensboro and Winston-Salem. Quick access to Interstate 40 and connecting routes into Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, and the I-85 corridor allows carriers to integrate GSO1 into regional LTL/TL loops and long-haul lanes across the Southeast. The surrounding industrial cluster and proximity to regional intermodal, air, and distribution hubs help keep Carrier Central appointments and dock turns predictable throughout the year.

    • Avoid damaged, non-standard, or unstable pallets that may require rework or be refused at receiving

  • Box & Pallet Labels:

    • Each carton requires a unique FBA Box ID label generated from your shipment plan

    • Each pallet requires four FBA pallet labels (one per side), applied on the outside of the stretch wrap, upright and fully scannable at the dock

  • Wrapping & Stability:

    • Wrap pallets with clear stretch film so labels remain visible and unobstructed

    • No product overhang beyond the pallet footprint

    • Stack cartons evenly with heavier units at the bottom; use corner boards and strapping/banding where needed to keep loads stable in transit and during unloading

  • Floor-Loaded / FCL:

    • Floor-loaded containers and trailers must follow Amazon’s Floor Loading Policy, including guidance on stack height, carton weight, and mixed-SKU loading

    • Clearly describe any floor-loaded inbound in your Carrier Central booking so GSO1 can plan appropriate labor and unloading equipment and avoid dock delays

  • Slip Sheets:

    • Only use slip sheets where permitted by Amazon guidance and explicitly confirmed in your appointment notes; otherwise plan for standard palletized unloading
