Walmarts policy or at least every one I have been to in last 6 months. DollyDown/Disconnect/Pull forward 3 feet from trailer. Mandatory or they refuse to unload you until you do. Most also have a area for you to bobtail and park on the yard so you are not even near the trailer.

C & S grocery warehouse Brattleboro VT. Spent almost 2 1/2 days in their "bullpen" ya real nice place. Lockdown was more like it, no trl drops no trl pool, no cell coverage, nothing on the TV, not even a #### vending machine in their outpost. Just a phone and a broken toilet. No chance for a repower load, no chance for a drop in the door and off to sleep, couldn't even drop and leave the yard to go down and do laps in the infamous rotary a few times and hit the local pizza hut. Later found out that for the 65 doors they had they only had 3 lumpers on a shift with a 2 hour downtime between shifts and were only running 2 shifts. The slowest lumpers ever too, averaged about a truck every 6 hours. Like they hand unloaded the freight or something. Apparently things really are simpler in New England. Any Meijer live unload at a store is nice too, about 4 hours was my average time.

Americold in Atlanta. Took 4 pallets of returns to them. Had a 5 oclock appointment did'nt start to unload me untill after 9 and then after argueing with them over when I should be out of there, the 4 pallets of returns ended up being loaded onto one of their trucks to go to another warehouse. The guy would not sing my b.o.l. because they never counted it when it came off the truck and they could not find it anywhere. After I said my 2cents and security attempted to escort me out I made a vow that I would never have anything to do with Americold again.

Welcome to Americold driver how may we bend you over today. All of those cold storage places flat suck and the staff their is very rude and hard to deal with. I also love how they wont let you on the dock and the BOL say driver load & count....I always write shipper load and count on the bills. Man do they hate that...

Americold in Atlanta is definitely one of the worst. I remember bumping the dock there one time and sleeping 10hrs and they had just finished the paperwork. Grocery DC's, Cold storages, Food Services and Meat plants all pretty much bite. What's a reefer driver to do?

So far out of all the ones I've been keeping track of: Brock Grain and Feed/CTB Inc. out of Kansas City Missouri has been the worst! Checked in at 8:30 am this morning, brought to dock at 12:20 this afternoon, started loading at 2:30 and as of now, 7:54pm still being loaded. Flatbedder getting machine parts to take to Minnesota. He's calm and I'm missing patches of hair off my head!
mje Thanks this.
