Well, I am afraid your dad is pulling your leg here. Just a few points, that don't add up: Uncleared civilian truckers usually wait at the Gate 700 guard house while cleared personnel drives their truck into the base. There is a large shipping&receiving facility at the road up to Gate 700. It has loading docks, which can be seen on satellite images. There is no way that an uncleared truck driver would be allowed to drive into Area 51. The usual escort for civilian transports is one, max. two security pickups, not six or eight Humvees (which I have never seen used by Groom security).
Civilian deliveries usually go in through the Mercury gate, up the (paved) Mercury highway through the NTS and via gate 700 into Area 51. Not via the unpaved Groom Lake Road or North Gate Road.
