The WORST Shippers and Receivers - Truckers WILL NOT Buy Their Products!

^ All of that is why is stick to skateboarding...

...I did enough dry van in my day to know that doorswinging ain't for me. I’ve had my own horror stories to bear in various bottling plants, grocery warehouses, recycled carpet tin cans (im not sure if they were factories or something somebody made up out of old aluminum siding and some machines), cardboard, Rubbermaid facilities and other places just in the little bit of time I did run vans.

None of this is to say we don't run into issues on the flat deck side, but not NEAR to the degree van/reefer guys do. I really feel bad for you guys sometimes. At the end of the day, flat or box (or tank or parking lot), we all in this mess together.

 

That’s why I pull tanks. If the customer gives me the run around after 2 hours, I just giggle. “Take all the time you need, I’m on the clock now “ I’ve literally sat at the flying J in Sullivan MO from Monday 11:00 till Friday noon waiting to unload. I made 850 day doing nothing but waiting around. I couldn’t go back to swinging doors.

 

Bro.. i've got an opp I'm not mentioning yet... but I MAY be back atcha's way... my OWN self~! Nothing beats it.. yessir, NO'sir~!

 

P&G in shippensburg pa over 11 hours for a live load. Won't ever go back there. However the one in Tunkhannock pa im in and out within 1.5-2. Hours max everytime

 

The worse receiver ever for me is Frito Lay Rosenberg TX. They tell you to drop trailer and leave the premises, took 7 hours plus to unload and not a way to contact them at all. They must be hand peeling potatoes back there.

 

I'm at Florida Natural Growers in Lake Wales. This is the biggest #### show I've yet to encounter as far as receivers go. I have been here since 11am for a 12pm appt. I get the call to leave the staging area to go to a dock. I get to the dock and have to wait with 2 other guys to get a door. I've now been here for 7hr 15min.and still don't have a door. Only one truck has been touched in the 2 hours that I have been back here. One of the other trucks had been here since yesterday at 5pm. I'm through with this place, I will not come back. They ship pretty fast though, in case you were wondering. Also, no facilities or food for drivers.

 

Screw that. I’d leave.

 

Igloo in Katy Texas

 

Maybe not the worse shipper, but going to have to say Owen Illinois out of Lexington NC will keep you waiting for a near eternity. I have a feeling receiving is not much better. Can always blame it on Corona

 

Seems to be the answer for everything afoul these days.
