Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Shippers & Receivers - Good or Bad Load O' Freight That Just Can't Wait. Had a good or bad experience with a shipper or receiver? Discuss grocery warehouses, lumpers, and anything dealing with pickups or deliveries here. Does that shipper let you park and sleep? Does the receiver FORCE you to get a lumper?

Talking mmmm, ice cream...
My favorite was always picking up at Ben and Jerry's up in Vermont, but then my opinion is probably biased by all the free tubs of Chunky Monkey. Not a whole lot of room, but they did get us loaded in a timely manner, and if you want a free sample all you have to do is ask.

Driver Beware!! stay as far away from Food Lion in Butner N.C. as you can get. 7 hours on the dock and $450.00 lumper fee- WoW! They will also try to hide under the alias of Hannaford Bros..

some things
For those in the food industry who have ever hit a safeway store I feel sorry for you. Unless youre driving one of their drucks you will spend anywhere from 20-90 minutes waiting to unload. It doesnt seem long but when their drivers are in and out in less than 10 it gets on your nerves.

On a positive note I agree in never having a problem with a walmart store or seeing any other drive sit there for long

I second that feeling about Sauder. I picked up there several times and never had a problem.

Also, the warehouse was the cleanest I've ever seen. It was spotless.

Pat on the back
Perhaps a quick email to his boss would be more effective for this pat on the back. It will probably mean more to the boss. Just a thought.
Have a blessed day, and be safe!

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."

I do a lot of nursery stock and the best one so far that I have been to is Klupengers nursery in Aurora Oregon. Very nice friendly people treat you professionaly and for floor loading it is not to bad of a wait.

Good shipper
IBC in Charlotte, NC... makers of Cheerwine (not the same IBC that makes the rootbeer). Everyone I dealt with there was super friendly and I swear I didn't even have time to fill out my log book and they had me loaded. The guy in shipping said they take pride in getting the drivers loaded as fast as they can—that he couldn't understand why some other warehouses make drivers wait for hours on loads.

Here's three thumbs up for IBC.
