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? Trucker Directions

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 ran late arriving at Auto Zone in Lake City, Fl due to a break down. They asked no questions, put me right into a door and unloaded me really fast. very polite. The Security Guard seen to it. So as I left I made a point to say Thanks..

although it was weird, i dont consider it a problem

PS. although i am sure this would have been a different story altogether if i had turned into equine-excrement trucker driver

Everyone you meet is a mirror, and will reflect your attitude back at u with only a speed of light delay.
I never went to a Wal Mart that I had problems at. In fact I rather go to Wal Marts than any grocery ware house, you know how much it going to cost ahead of time. $50.00. Once was done at no cost in Colorado.
