I haven't been here before, but I hear horror stories about slow unloads rivalling the worst C&S warehouse, and ridiculously expensive lumpers. My hand jack's broken and at the house...do these yahoos have any floating about? Who's the lumper anyway, Capstone redshirts or some other clowns?
Headed there for 3am and not sure what I'm getting into but expecting the worst. They're my first stop too, unfortunately.

How many more stops? All C&S after that?
Enjoy -
3 more stops in the Boston area, last two are just a half pallet each. Not sure how much in all, being loaded now. No C&S that I know of...smaller outfits.
-
2 more stops in Boston? Oh, so you're planning on spending a week there, eh? -
Hey, somebody's gotta do it. Boston isn't too bad to me usually. And I doubt I will be there all that long...just enough to find a reload back to NY or near there.

GL! -
I've hauled salt from Watkins Glen on a flat and bulk, in a dump bucket on a dedicated Cargill plant to plant account. That's a big deadhead from Boston though. More likely I'll get something out of the greater Boston area to PA/MD...seems to work out that way pretty often.
I don't tend to haul meat often. Mostly frozen stuff and produce, lately, with the odd dry van load thrown in just to make sure my 5th wheel slide and axle slide work as intended (reweigh, reweigh!). -
Been there once delivering a dry load. Wasn't the longest unload by a long shot, but I did have several pallets rejected (short-dated...11 months!).

I worked part time for a private label water bottler about 8 or 9 years ago, they were very good to us per our contract with IGA but I saw some real horror stories from the other drivers. The only nice thing was they had a good parking area for staging while waiting and were one of the first to use your cell phone instead of the cb radio, but the docks sucked. I have no idea what the lumpers cost we were driver unload and allowed to use power equipment per our supplier contract. That is one of the pluses to working for a private fleet for a manufacturer, we usually didn't get the same crap the common carriers got.
