    Worst receiver ever is Grocers Supply in Houston.

    I've never had a really bad shipper, but Aspen Distribution II in Montebello, CA was a real PITA.

    What's even worse is that those two were the shipper and consignee for the same load!

    Also, I've never had a good experience delivering to a Home Depot store (especially the one in Visalia, CA)

    Sams in laredo, tx i will never set foot in a sams warehouse ever again.
    My driver arrived late. Would not take him. He told them he would wait and be the last one in. Refused. This was on thursday, they don't unload on fridays. Made him sit in laredo until monday morning, went in at 5:15am didn"t get out until 10am never again would not spend the first dime in sams

    SOPUS (Shell Oil) plant on Clinton Dr. in Galena Park, TX (Houston).

    The loaders are some of the slowest, stupidest, laziest unionized #######es I've ever dealt with. And they all go on break at the same time.

    At least the security guards are decent people.

    So they all go on break at the same time, What;s the problem?
    Place I lded at in Mn. the other week did that also. They even took lunch at the same time.
    They come over and said hey, it's break time we will be back in 30 mins. I said ok. Then they finished up getting ld. ready and when it came to lunch time they said the same thing. Oh if you need coffee or the bathroom this is where they are...
    No biggie to me..

    I usually don't mind, however one day this receiver I was at decided to throw a 2 hour picnic. Employee appreciation, they got an extra hour.

    Those of us in the docks in various states of unload got to watch the fun.

    I wish I could remember where that was. I want to say Meijer... Just not sure.

    Problem #1:
    My appointment time was at 7PM, which is break time for the entire plant.
    Very illogical, and very inconsiderate of my time.

    Problem #2:
    The other problem is that if they all go on break at the same time, NO WORK GETS DONE.

    Why would the schedule and Appt at the exact time they go on break?
    Even when they try and plan ahead they can't get it right.
