Highest Lumper Fees

U.S Foods $525

 

So glad I left refers to tankers.
I could never understand why in all the years I pulled a refer I never had to pay to load the trailer??

 

Lumpers = On the "Do Not Go" list

 

$666, that's the only reason why I remember the cost. All for 8 maybe 10 skids of coffee cups. I thank the trucking gods every day that I don't deal with lumpers anymore.

 

Lumpers are one of the main reasons we got rid of our vans and reefers.

 

As a driver I don't pay it so I don't care.

Wait a minute, SOMEONE needs to pay it.... That affects profits.... That affects how much I can be paid! It's now part of the drivers problems too now. Lumpers gouging sucks.

 

Buncha Jaimacans charged me $420 to unload food one time.

Found that pretty entertaining. Wasn't my money so didn't care about the bill

Think that was a Publix dc in Jacksonville couldn't swear on it though.

 

I had a $600 fee once. I was warned ahead of time that the consignee wouldn't take a comcheck. I knew I had $100 in my wallet and another $200 stashed in the truck so I figured I was good. While they unloaded I hoofed it a mile to the gas station that had an atm. On the plus side my company reimbursed both the atm and my bank fee.

 

$80. And I was pissed and yelled profanities. The next load was the same thing to the same DC. $120.

Watermelons on a flatbed.

It was my first and only experience. Never had to pay for onions.
