Least favorite places to deliver?

In the same way, seeing a 2 or 3 digit number on an address (24 E Something) doesn't bode very well either.

 

Hell yes. Have a few of those places here. Even worse is the industrial complexes where the address is something like 29566 and there are over 20 businesses on that long cul-de-sac. Because of the high move in and move out rate they never change the companies name on the outside of their place. Not even a cardboard sign on the door.

Got dispatched to one and spent the first 10 mins going door to door asking if this was HighTech Shipping and if it wasn't did they know where they were located. Tried calling the number on the BOL and got a fax machine.

 

I went to an address on Hwy 6. Just south of I-10. No place for a trailer!!!
Recently went to am office park. The suite number dispatch gave me was wrong.
Would never have found it without a phone number.
But I'd STILL rather never pick up at SDV.

 

On my route there many streets with a number than ave or st, 24th st is across town from 24th ave, can be time consuming if i get them mixed up

 

I don't know if this has changed over the years, or not. Probably not. Trying to find a new stop in the Salt Lake City area can be a nightmare as well. Not only do they not post street addresses on a lot of the businesses, they don't have any signage. Their thinking? "Anybody who IS anybody already KNOWS where we are!"

 

Orlando Bakery in Cleveland, Ohio. The Garmin will direct you to use East 79th Street to Grand, but its a lie. They recently closed off Grand at 79th and you will have to go under the bridge whose height in unknown to Woodland and make the left. The first traffic signal you come to is 78th and you will make another left and eventually reach Grand where you will make another left. You will have to exit your truck and sign in with the rent-a-cop.

We will advise someone via his walkie-talkie that you are here and will be directed to pull up and wait and wait and wait. There are two buildings that receive but the newest one on your left is the one that is used the most .This is another high security building so there is no way to enter the building and no buzzer to ring. There always seems to be only one working dock as the other always have trailers sans tractors being loaded. There is only one driveway that used for exiting and entering their local drivers in the big delivery vans seem to barrel in at top speed.

 

I was incorrect in my last post. The first shift ends at 3 PM and its about 15-20 minutes until the second shift starts. If you arrive at 10 minutes to 3 you will still wait. I heard one of the Supervisors tell a new hire that do not do any work at 10 minutes to the 3..

I was stuck there for 20 minutes and had only one pallet to deliver.

 

I don't know if it has changed or not, but SLC used to just drive me nuts. These outfits would not post either the names of their business, NOR an address.
I guess they figured that every driver was supposed to "just know" who and where...
And then you would have an address such as 300 E 300 W. on the paperwork. So much time just wasted.
