Lowes RDC in Minersvile, PA
When I drove for Western Express, We did a lot drop and hooks here and never had any empties available at THIS RDC, so after you dropped your loaded one, you had to wait for an empty to become available, so a live unload was out of the question.
I am not saying avoid shopping at Lowes
Lowes was courteous about this and worked quickly to get an empty for me.
The only downfall was you couldnt be on their property for more then an hour. I just bobtailed off the property, down the street aound the corner and pulled off a dead end street and waited there.

I worked for Lowes for a time at one of there stores. Now imagine if you will, taking a trailer and holding it so the doors faced the sky. Dump the whole load into it shut the doors and place it on the ground , hook it to a truck and take it to a store where when the doors are opened, all the friegth at the back dumps out. The whole trailer is unloaded by hand at the point except the heavy stuff that was placed for weight distrubution in the trailer . So at the DC's they are loaded by hand as well. Just for some insight on how they do it.
