    Pre paid is even faster. LOL

    Lumpers...an excuse to overcharge customers and carriers to handle what they ordered. If Wal-Mart can unload ANY trailer in a couple - 3 hours for $50, why can't everyone else? $270 for 8 pallets.....what a rip off

    I don't know that I can remember any lumper service anywhere that did not take any of the major "trucker checks" as payment for lumper services.

    Yes they take comchecks, if this is your first time there, do yourself a favor park on the street and walked up to the guard shack otherwise he is going to tell you to turn around and go park on the street before.they check you in any way.

    See I question Walmarts charging... They are Walmart employees unloading. Most places it is employees of a lumper service.

    yeah the difference with walmart and lumpers is the walmart employee is working is ever loving ### off to keep his 7.50/hr minimum wage job and the lumpers are paid $20 an hour and believe they should be paid a lot more if you want em to work faster
