The BEST Shippers and Receivers - Truckers WILL Buy Their Products!

Kudos to Rich Products in Murfreesboro, TN. I arrived at 7 05am for a 8am appt. Backed in dock 6, and at 7 30am completely unloaded and was met halfway between truck and receiving department with my bills and with a smile. They even swept out my trailer for me. One of the few rare places with friendly people

 

Pioneer Frozen Foods-Prosperity SC. Arrived at 7:45am for a 8am appt. Back in the dock and waited for the COA approval. 0815 was told to come inside and watch unloading. 0845 was back on the road

 

Today was one of my luckiest days delivering to a grocery warehouse. I arrived at 1:30am for a 10:30am apt at the Kroger off of Oakleigh Dr in East Point, GA. I checked in with the guard and went back to truck. Around 3:45am, I get a phone call from the guard to back into Door 38. I walked over to the receiving department to get a quote for the unload. The lumpers didn t arrive until 4:45am, so I went back to my truck and by the time I laid down, I felt the lumpers starting to unload. Around 5:30am they re calling me telling me that I m done and come get the paperwork. I thought it was pretty rare to get to get a dock door at a grocery warehouse 7 hrs early and 45 mins to unload. Thanks Kroger

 

Barber Mayfield, Birmingham/ Homewood, AL. Arrived there Saturday afternoon for a Monday AM appt. The guard let me on the property and let me leave my truck there over the weekend . I also asked the plant manager for permission as well, he said sure. So Monday I backed into the dock a 7:39 for a 8am appt. 7:51, was pulling out of the dock, closed my doors and let my reefer pre cool since my next load was on the other side of the plant. I checked in on the other side at 8:05am and told them I had just delivered on the other side of the plant with a dry load and would need to let my reefer get to temp. So around 8:30am they told me to go ahead and back into a dock anyways. At 9:12am I was loaded and had paperwork in my hand. Even the shipping manager was in a good mood for a change which is rare. I thought this was pretty good for the weekend and a Monday morning. Thanks Barber Mayfield

 

Shoulda bought a lottery ticket that day ol buddy--dont feel bad if you pay for that one next time U R there--Good Luck--LOL

 

I know right, lol

 

When I pulled van I enjoyed Costco---they were quick!!!

Now that ive been pulling platform....Ive yet to run into a shipper that has held me up more than an hour...minus a place in VA, but I never mind waiting there because they always pay $4-5 a mile!!!!

 

Jennie O Turkey
Melrose and Willmar, MN

I gotta give a special salute to these two places. Not only did they not take more than an hour and little change to load, they were the friendliest
shipper I have come across in all my years traveling. Not the best smelling places due to dead turkey but I would not mind going back to this shipper.
Not overweight, bills handed immediately after the last forklift went in ( forgot to mention they had two forklifts going in at each location). If only shippers and receivers
acted like these folks, trucking would be a delight for me. After loading it was straight to Laredo, TX.

 

Cold Spring Brewery in Cold Spring MN. Don't arrive more than an hour early, but friendly and quick!

 

Costco hands down. They know how to be efficient.
