    I have been BANNED from Sysco Los Angeles in Walnut, Ca. Receiver started yelling at me so I told him to go F*** himself. Haven't been back since.

    The lumpers are always quick there. It is the ahole receivers that take their sweet ##### time. Got kicked out of there a few years back and will never go back. Sysco LA, Vegas, Phoenix, Fremont are the worst.

    Sysco in SLC are a bunch of clowns too! You either hire one of their employees to empty their freight onto their own dock or you have to do it, but you have to rent their pallet jack if you decide to unload it, unless you have your own. There is one in Klakamas that I hate too! There are signs at the gate saying to call blah blah on the CB so you sit there and call ad call and call on the CB and nobody answers ad the gate never opens. You have to creep forward until you almost hit the gate to get it to open from the weight sensor adn then you jst check in like any other dock. These signs are from a decade ago and they just don't take them down. Took an hour to get a door, even thought I was on time for my appointment. Took 2 hours to unload and then 2 hours for my stupid paperwork to walk 250 feet to the office.

    Im not using the race card so keep that in mind.When I delivered to a Sysco in Kansas City.appt was 6 am,got in the door and there I sit till 4 pm.All the lumpers were Hispanics.Other Hispanics came after me parked next to me and left all day long.Some had more freight then me the few drivers I spoke with who was hispanic was charged less then me and they had more freight.I go inside and see what the hold up is,receiver who was also Hispanic said we're short staffed and on brake the same 2 excuses everytime I went in there.I hope to never go there again.

    Been here at Sysco in Plympton Massachusetts for more than 3 hours now... Had a green light and been waiting on the call to tell me I'm done for 2.5 of those 3+ hours. About to either leave and say puck it, fax the bills I don't care, or intentionally get myself banned from here so they'll expedite my departure. Pathetic.

    As fate would have it, I left shortly after I posted that. Now I'm on the Cape waiting to get loaded. Left at 0015 this morning with hopes of beating the tour-ons into Maine for the weekend.
