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?

Yeah, they are nice folks there. If I remember, the showers were on one side of the shipping office, and the bathrooms were on the other side. And it is really nice that they actually built a big enough lot where you have room to manuever.

There were two sets of showers and one was for truckers only. They also had a nice break room where you could get free coffee and doughnuts in the morning.
They had lots of room to back into a door and the people were friendly. I liked going there which is more than I can say for a lot of places.
They still do

Yeah- I've heard nothing but horror stories about how shippers and receivers treat drivers. It's good to hear that not all of them are "evil."
