I did just recently and the response I got was "the guy that runs shipping/receiving trys hard to make sure the guys don't have to wait. I told the forklift guy to make sure to tell his boss that I noticed the effort."

Yes, yes, yes - make an extra point of this.

On the flip side, take the time to write a letter to corporate when you get held for a long time. Be polite and provide details. And explain (this is ofr O/O's) that you would only take this load again if it paid more, and regardless of if they pay the shipping or not, shipping ends up in the cost one way or the other.

This is what amazes me about Walmart. They can figure savings down to fraction of a cent but can't understand that when I charge 25-50% more before I haul a load for them that they ultimatly pay it.

I have been driving for about 7 years and have been to P&G's all over the country. 99% of them are great, get you in and out quickly, very efficient and professional staff. Facilities are for the most part clean and you can figure on what to expect when you go there. My favs are the ones in Lima OH, West Branch IA, Green Bay WI. The only turd P&G that I have routinely come across is the one in Albany GA, and the reason I say that is because they have a "no pet policy" on their yard (they seem to be the only P&G that even has this policy) and I have 2 cats on the truck, they literally made me leave them in a cage sitting out in the rain before they would let me on the yard, then when I came out to the exit they accused me of bringing them inside the yard anyway. Ever since then when I get dispatched there I stop before I get there and put the girls in the cage and then put them in the bunk where they're out of sight so that way I don't get any hassles from the guards! But other than that one bad apple I say P&G You Guys are GREAT!!!
