    This is true, that's why you need to call ahead of time BEFORE you show up there. Takes about 3 minutes of time the staff should be able to tell you if they have the product you need using your pickup number or P.O number. For me lately if I have one SKU for 29 pallets of a certain product I may only be able to grab 15 of them at one site and have to grab the the last 14 at another location. Save yourself time and aggravation and pick up the phone and call ahead

    I did call, was told I'd be loaded between noon and 1 pm so I drove over from the hotel 8 miles away and checked-in at 11:20 am. Didn't leave til 4:30 am the following morning...

    Dannys melon shed in Cordele, GA is worse. Always overbooks trucks this time of year with no product to fill them. Then they will pick melons during or after a hard rain and you end up with junk product, and you deal with rejection or claims at the receiver.

    He will brag to your face about how much money he gets for certain loads, and laugh and joke about making drivers wait for days so he can get his high dollar trucks loaded first.

    I sat there almost 2 days, got paid for it but I was pretty livid.

    2 drivers from different companies abandoned their trucks there in 2013 on the same day.

    Owner is a real piece of fecal matter.
