I understand that they unload around the clock at most. I have heard that SOME DC's unload all perishable products, whether its dairy commodities, frozen items, meat and produce at one time. There's not an around the clock receiving. They receive all perishables in like an 8 hour span. Has anyone else experienced this? I guess its kind of like a free for all type situation?

so, your saying that they unload it in like a 9 hour span or within like a 24 hour span?

There are the occasional drop and hook DC's too. Some will not let you check in anymore than an hour before your appointment time. Seems like 4 hrs is the norm anymore. Anything for spite.

Blu_Ogre, joseph1135 and mje Thank this.

Make sure you get to the gate early enough so that you can get to your door, unhook, and get to the receiving window before your appointment. One time I got to the gate just in time, and the wonderful receiving people almost refused the load because I got to the window late, even thoughi arrived on time at the guard shack. Of course, I must've got banned from there because I never got dispatched to that DC again. Must've been that remark I made about Sam Walton rolling in his grave!
