    Many of the grocery wharehouses are no different than dry wharehouses, some good, some bad, and some just down right crooks.

    Well that may have been your experience but I keep track of such things when I am out on the road and I find a big difference with the 2.

    At a regular whse I do not have to sit in a holding yard for 1 to 5 hours past my appointment and then get a com-check approved and pay between $100 and $400 dollars to get unload onto a dock that is full of the last trucks freight still. Then after you get unloaded and broke down or put on the right pallets have to wait up to 2 hours for someone else to put stickers on the pallets and refuse the freight damaged by the lumpers I just paid.

    I'm sorry but I have done thousands of loads all over North America and the only grocery outfit that even comes close to being like a regular generic whse is Costco DC's.

    The whses I go to now don't charge a gate or unload fee they unload me as soon as they are able and even sometimes when I am early. They offer coffee and restrooms for my use and don't treat me like a criminal from the time I step on their property.

    How many grocery outfits unload your truck and sign the bills subject to inspection and send you on your way? I have yet to see any on a live unload. Many dry whses do that on live unloads
