    FOOD LION D.C., I-85, Salisbury, NC.

    Pick up appt sometime 2017 = Early, which is On Time.
    Given a Door, Docked, waited.
    They also like that "No Idling" stuff but when Facing Sun, too bad.
    2 hrs later told I was given wrong door.
    At Correct Door, waited another 2 hours, off dock, secured with Seal, out gate.

    I liked the Food Receivers that when they found buggered Food Containers, they deposited in current Trailer that had been unloaded. Claimed "It isn't our problem". I told all locations of usually DRY Food Deliveries, "You'll accept it or mark such on B.O.L. AND You'll deposit in YOUR appropriate disposal Unit or I'll toss it on ground. It does not travel with me".
    Might seem like :binky:, but actual is :cheers:!

    UPS Greensboro NC. Apparently UPS does not believe in forklifts. Showed up about 815 for a 9am "appointment". Went through some guard shack nonsense and eventually figured out where to go. Once I get there I'm told they're not even going to start unloading anything till 1230. I can drop my trailer in such and such parking spot leave and give them a call around 230 it should be ready. They weren't that far off and that's not even the part that made me mad. I'm all for not sitting at someone's #### hole warehouse if they wanna take an eternity. What pissed me off was what I found when I came to get my trailer. Bet your ### I chucked every bit of that out right where it sat before I even hooked it up.

    Ain't no sense in that. I've had to dump #### like that too. It seems nobody gives a #### for others equipment.

    WELL DONE!! :biggrin_2559:
    Been to MANY warehouses like that with a Dry Van.
    I told them all "Dunnage Is Part Of The LOAD. That's How It Shipped-Arrived, That's Where It Stays!" ;)

    dhl mondelez in atlanta,ga. terrible place I went to once. I checked the reviews and apparently the guard shack is asking for money if you arrive late. is that even legal?

    Haha, that was the same place I went to.(Kraft & Mondelez share the same building). Be thankful you were on the Kraft side. I heard that's slightly better

    I don’t know about the guard shack, but if a late fee does apply usually it’s the shipping office that would charge it,unless the shipping office relayed the info to the guard shack. Usually when we receive a dispatch were told from the beginning if there will be a late fee that applies if the driver shows up late.

    Fiesta warehouse in San Antonio.
    No shipping office just two numbers to call.
    Don’t bother showing up early.
    Showed up hr before apt, didn’t get a dock till 5hrs after my apt.
    Then took them another two hours to load.

    what a joke

    Fuhrer in Pittsburgh had me wait over night on a Friday when I was supposed to be heading home saturday morning comes around and guess what...the security guard said I had to sit and wait there until the next Wednesday before I could get unloaded. My dispatch told me to head back to the yard that someone else would deliver the load later on. Well I try leaving and the security guard tries to lock me in saying I couldn't leave. I called my dispatch they said have him sign the paperwork then drop the trailer exactly where you are sitting...well I happened to be sitting inside their gate blocking both entrance and exit the only ones they have. So I had him sign it dropped the trailer then ended up having to call the cops for them to let me out

    Kimura in South Carolina are 1 of the worst shippers I have been to. Was supposed to be picking up a drop n hook yesterday. Well they were closed when I got there and I was hours early was told they didn't reopen until today. I show up this morning and waited over 4 hours at the first location, because they couldn't find the load which should of been ready for shipment on the 16th. Got sent to another location for a live load. Have been sitting here for over 5 hours. My dispatch keeps messaging me on Qualcomm asking what's taking so long. I finally told dispatch "call the shipper I'm not the one loading the truck they are do I have no clue what's going on."
