    Daisy Dairy in Garland TX. Used to be a good place to pick up. Seems it recent years the shipping dept has been taken over by total incompetence. Loaded over gross and way over on my trailer for the states I’m running in, and wound up waiting all day for these clowns to fix their screw up. Had to go weigh at a cat scale because they wouldn’t even accept the readings from their own on site scale.

    Actually I was told it used to be Burris but is now honor. All the honor marked trailers in thier yard looked new and the two Burris trailers looked like they had been around a long time. This makes me think that what I was told is more accurate along with Honor Foods being on my bills and that Burris was or used to be on North 5th street from what we remember.

    Perhaps someone has mentioned it already, but I don't feel like reading 126 previous pages of replies. Niagara (the bottled water company) out of Pleasant Prairie, WI is horrible. They tell you that you have a two hour window to load (12:00am to 2:00am), then when you arrive fifteen minutes early to the window they tell you to leave, accusing you of getting the appointment wrong, and you have to come back at 1:30am. When this happened to me I had enough HOS left to be loaded by 3:00am (which is why I arrived early, and I'd been told they take forever to load) and was tired after a full day of driving. I lost my cool, slammed the door and stormed out of the lot before calling the broker to tell him that I couldn't do the load at the given time. They canceled the load. My boss said they're a last resort company to get people home for the weekend. If it were up to me they'd be on a Do Not Use list. Oddly enough, my boss booked another load through them last weekend but they canceled it on us. I wasn't unhappy about it. The load I got out of Muscatine, IA was a way better experience.

    It's been a while but last year I remember getting held up at Warren Oil in West Memphis, AR for over 9 hours along with several other drivers who were picking up loads there.

    Warren oil manufacturers mini different generic motor oils and automotive lubricants sold at countless different retailers. They are probably best known for producing the Supertech line of products sold at Walmart. Also they are owned by the Pritzger family who is well known for their dirty politics in Illinois. I won't be buying their junk again.

    Got another one to add to the list Royal Oak charcoal, particularly the one at Monterey, TN. I arrived on time at about 1:30 p.m. they took so long to load me that I did not get out of there until 1:30 in the morning and nearly missed the Dollar General appointment I had that morning. That adds up to 12 hours that I spent waiting which is a new personal record for me. Also there are no refreshments or restrooms provided during the 12 hour wait. If you take a look at their Google reviews you'll see that this is a problem that the shipper has on a regular basis, so my experience was not just a bad day.
