    Agreed. Plus they'll give you free pretzels. Only issue there was figuring out which door to knock on. They're fine people.

    Dutton Lainson in Hastings, NE. I got here today at 1630, and had intended to spend the night and unload at 8AM. They were closing at 5pm, so they went ahead and unloaded 18 pallets in 15 minutes, and even BS for a few minutes. Nebraska has some of the nicest people and customers

    Swanson Health Products- Reno, NV- Been there twice and unloaded in less than 25 minutes. The little lady that unloads is definitely a go getter.

    Pet Food Express- Oakland, CA. Nice clean facility, and restrooms. Unloaded in less than 30 minutes. Friendly staff too

    Any COSTCO DC. They give you a pager at the gate and when they're done (usually no more than 20 mins) the alarm buzzes and you get pprwrk at the outbound gate. COSTCO is head and shoulders above the rest, I think the worst COSTCO is better than the average-to-better mega-warehouses.

    The stores and Business Centers are hit & miss however. Especially the Business Center in Phoenix. Bad things, man, baaad things.

    Since we don't pull out of here anymore I'll give this secret away. GCP in North Bergen, liquid totes. I was always in and out in under 30 min for 13-15 totes. I think my record was like 13 minutes.

    I used to deliver mainly cheese products when leaving my base in northern Utah which was mostly dairy farms, so of course went to a lot of Mc Donalds warehouses quite frequently mainly in Los Angeles, and Phoenix, I always found them to be very quick they were more strict when it came to checking the security seals on the doors though for bio security reasons, yes Cosco were fine, Albertsens were ok as well, come to think of it I never really got stuffed around, in fact I can only think of one time where I had to go to some no name back water place in CA south of Sacramento it was a Hot load and I only missed the delivery time by a few hours the dock shut at 12 pm they made me wait for 2 whole days, before unloading me. It does make me wonder if they needed the product 2 days earlier why they then made me wait for 2 days, total spite if you ask me if only they knew the trouble I went to driving there. After that I refused to do any hot loads and this was if fact the one only load I was ever late delivering too.
