Bad Receiver- Coke, Columbus, OH

That’s why I prefer linehaul. No customers to deal with ever.
14 hours waiting time would net any of our company drivers $300
Hope you earned at least that for your time

 

You should have left and gone up to the new Flying J or Loves just north of there. At least parked at the little fuel stop at the Gas City exit.

 

Company wouldn't let me and this was 4 years ago. Not sure if that TS was there then.

 

After lurking this shipping & receiving forum a few months I definitely sounds like linehaul is better. That's where I got my six weeks training. We just dropped the trailer, turned in the paperwork, got the new load papers and off we went. We would sometimes wait a few hours, but not 14.

From what I've heard sometimes the solo drivers would have to wait, teams would always be given priority.

 

I’ve never delivered to Coke in Columbus, but I picked up there 3 times and they were always very quick and professional. One time I was an hour late and that was the quickest they ever got me loaded, like 30 minutes and I was gone. Never waited more than 90 minutes. St. Charles, MO is another good one.

The Coca-Cola warehouse in Detroit is the one that ####ing blows. After my last time there, I told the company I was with that if they ever dispatched me there again to consider it my last trip.

 

You're right about Target. I went to the one in Fridley, MN. They make you sit in the lounge there, but I was out in an hour.
