| 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? Trucker Directions |

| Mid Mountain Foods, Abinggton VA Possibly the best receiver I have ever delivered to. Every time I'm there the dock door is open while I'm backing in, I get backed in, chock my wheels, walk inside, hand the my paperwork, and barely have enough time to go to the bathroom before I'm offloaded and paperwork is in hand.  |

| I worked there for several years back in the 90's. It is the distribution center for Piggly Wiggly and Food City stores in the area. They usually are pretty quick about getting the loads on and off the trucks. Glad to hear they still take a little pride in their work. Hope you enjoy my neck o' the woods. Dave |

| Since you can see the dock from the breakroom/office I've never seen them make me wait to brkdwn a load. It's always been a straight pull, I usually haul Vlassic Pickles into the place, they yank em off my truck 2 pallets at a time and send me on my way. |

| Back in the day when I worked there, and it may still be the same way, the drivers never backed the trailers up to the dock. It was all done by a switcher with a yard dog. I was unloading a trailer with a forklift and the trailer next to it was locked and loaded and ready to roll. The switcher got messed up and pulled the trailer I was on out of the dock. I was backing off the trailer and saw daylight and then watched the door get farther away. Nothing much I could do but wait until he came around to close up the doors. Kinda funny, but kinda scary for a minute or two. Used to lump trucks there too. Dave |
