Not intending to ##### and gripe. Intending to encourage change. It seems to me that big name produce distribution centres for grocery stores will stop at nothing to bully farmers and truckers. Especially when they are at fault. Ridiculous unload times and rejected loads that are obviously their fault are epidemic. They know they have the monetary power to do the bullying. Example, a major distribution Center rejected half of a load, yes only half of, because of 2 degree difference in temp after sitting at their dock for three hours before unloading. Doors were open before backing into their dock, their policy. How can we bully them back or make them be honest? If enough of us unite we might make change. (?)

It's kind of a simple solution. Don't haul loads that are delivering to the DC's who treat driver's badly. I have a list of DC's I refuse to do business with. If they screw me once, that's the last time I go there.
