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?

1900 and these MFers still do not have me out of here.

this is ridiculous, I have decided today, that even though walmart is convenient I will no longer shop there. I will load up my truck when I go home, and deal with out the luxury of going to the store, this really pisses me off.

12 pallets and we are going on 3.5 hr ordeal since I got to their facility.

I am sick of this, this almost makes me want to be a lease operator so I can refuse walmart loads.

Dude, it could be worse- you ever been to Dominic's, or Jewel? I got REALLY lucky with those two, last time I went to either I had pallets of bottled water (straight pull) and Campbell's soup (lumpers are prepaid by campbells).
One dump in Throop/Dunmore, PA (I think it was some supersaver or something like that) kept me there from 0600 to 1600. That's right ladies and germs, TEN hours.

thats why they let you come in an hour early bc your appt was at 0800 you are supposed to be docked chocked and all and in the cto before 0800 thats why you were marked late
