Has anybody delivered to the ford plant in Dearborn,MI? And if you have, do you know if their receiving department is open 24/7? Can't find a number for them that works.

Not sure on what docks receive all day and night.. I don't think the Butler yard is open 24/7. And this is where playing your cards right can turn into a little bit of waiting time if time isn't a issue to you.
Chances are if your a expedite load Butler yard doesn't want to talk to you, sometimes yes but I find most of the time they ask why I am checking in with them, so 5 min before your drop time show your arrival and play the game. Ford Dearborn can be screwed up sometimes and send you from dock to dock until they get it right.
(Check in @ Butler yard should be in your load profile notes and should be counted as a stop as it is off location in my book.)

I spoke with somebody from butler yard and I told them I was delivering there and I told them it was to Dearborn stamping and the lady told me "oh we don't manage them, you'll have to call them" I asked for a number and she said she doesn't have it. Oh well I'll see when I get there I guess.

You should be ok with stamping, if you were going to any of the stores dock you would be screwed till morning make sure you have a safety vest.

If I'm not mistaken (although I usually am.... Ask my wife),
the Dearborn stamping gate is on Miller Rd.
