Places you just hate to go to

Last time I was at that Kraft (before I drive for Prime) KLLM driver decided I needed a new front end. Lol

 

Knew you were going to appreciate that place.

 

No body is reading the last part, "when they are out of trailers"

 

Kraft Champaign IL +1.
Had to hit the north side western docks with a Walmart roll up door tlr (have no clue what you would do with a prime swing door tlr with a tail) & even with a lightweight still had 6 pullups since they have the tightest dock spacing ever seen...look how many of their tlrs have crunched corners...plus they drop tlrs along the fence right in front of you & the drop lot is an absolute joke.
Make sure you have full reefer, they are Nazis about it.

Walmart DC in Brundidge AL has parking not 3mi north in front of the John Deere dealer lot, its listed in the mac19...never got attitude from anyone in the 3 times I have been there.

Safeway DC in Portland OR has brick pillers right next to every other dock on the flower receiving section, to dock properly you need to angle out so as not to rip doors off.
Worst backing ever was some tiny meat joint in NJ that had 4 docks & even with LW cascadia with tandems all the way up had to jump curb onto muddy hillside.

Any produce load is usually a PITA especially from/to ****holes like NorCal, Nogalaz AZ, & Laredo TX.

Hate driving to or through any city with a population of over 100k special shoutouts to the festering piles of waste that are Baltimore, Atlanta, everything below Redding CA, 100mi arc out from Chicago & NYC, the entire state of CT, Boston & its suburbs, Detroit is a given but most MI drivers are ***holes in general, I40 especially through AR & TN...as population densities go up, driving pleasure & productivity goes down.

Flipside, PPG paints & the walmart DC in Sparks/McCarran NV are awesome as is I80 from Reno to SLC....could drive that run every day happily.

Real friendly people at A&R bulk transport in Springfield MA where I got a WO, wanted me to come work for them, same thing at an Old Dominion terminal I delivered a claims load to in MA.

VT, upstate/western NY, & ME are a pleasure just as well as back roads in UT, NV, western CO, the Dakota's, MT, & ID.

Most pharma loads are quick, clean, & light, although usually get dirty looks from the expediter crowd like FedEx CC & Panther...

Olney IL Walmart DC is awesome as are most rural WM stores since they don't really have a problem with you parking.

Costco DCs are the most efficient DC's I have ever been to, at least the one in Tracy CA & 1 near Newark NJ, usually don't even have time to eat while in door.

 

anywhere in old parts of Chicago that you back into a dark narrow garage..

 

R&J Distribution in Akron, Ohio.. Very busy place and its not unusual to see a dozen rigs sitting and waiting. Ya gotta park your rig and go inside for a dock assignment. If the pretty girls are running the office you will have your paperwork and dock assignment in no time. All ya need is who ya are, who you're picking up for and the shipper.

If the old crone is there you will never have enough information to please her. I was told she is one of the owners.I was also told none of the employees can stand her. The old bat will want your tractor number, trailer number, PO number,customer number and shipper.

I remember huffing up at her one day because she refused to have me loaded because I lacked the shippers name. I even told her that the young ladies didn't need all that info and loaded me.

"Well they shouldn't have done it."

"God forbid they keep the wheels turning."
