Newlywed Foods (All locations)
Possibly one of the worst places you can ever deliver to or pickup from, regardless of the type of trailer that you are pulling. I deliver to them at various locations in Chicago, Wisconsin, Arkansas, and have heard similar reports from New York City and California in the Los Angeles area.
Deliveries and pickups are slow, take forever for the crew to get to you, and they expect you to be righto on time and willing to sit in the parking lot awake and listening to the radio at their convenience.
If you are ever assigned a pickup or delivery to a Newlyweds Foods facility, follow these simple steps.
1 Buy a box of #2 lead pencils.
2 Sharpen at least 2 of the pencils
3 Plunge the pencils deep into your eyes.
When your dispatcher asks if you can cover the load, inform him you are unable to at this time because you have to pencils plunged into your eyes and penetrating your brain. Do not remove the pencils until he assigns you a different load. At that point remove the pencils and follow standard medical treatment procedures. It will be less painful than accepting the load.....

I am in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and I am totally ALLERGIC to their warehouse. When I go into the little receiving office just to drop off my paperwork my throat closes and I start coughing uncontrollably. So, I get to wait in my truck, and I count the number of times the forklift enters and leaves my trailer, and after the final skid, I dash in, grab my signed paperwork and disappear before I fall on the ground asphyxiated.
Not my favourite place to deliver, and I think my dispatch realises that the threat of death might be a good reason not to send me again!

I hate to necropost, but Burky is dead on with this one. The Horn Lake, MS, location is one I frequent & it's horrible.

Ive been to the Newlyweds in chicago, man what a slow place that was for half a load. seems like i was there for 2 hours just for that, and the streets to get there from the interstate wasnt made for 53 foot trailers, you take up two lanes just to make a corner.
