Do all food distributors take forever to unload

Food warehouses are notorious for taking an exorbitant amount of time to unload. That's why it's important to drive for a company that pays detention pay. Every reefer outfit I worked for paid stop pay for delivering the load and detention pay starting an hour later. I read where Freymiller just increased their stop pay to $50.00 which is way above average. From what I read, stop pay and detention pay is automatic, which means the driver is taken care of without all the pleading and begging for pay that's due.

 

I've heard the Freymiller guys say on here they don't even have to ask for detention pay. They get the message right over Qualcomm they are getting it.

 

Yes, I just edited my post to reflect that. You beat me to it...lol

 

As they say..yes. Also they sometimes give everyone the same appointment time and look puzzled why we are all standing in line at the check in window.

 

Just the ones accepting trucks & using people to load/unload.

 

I haven’t pulled a refer in over 15 years. And to this day I will not step foot in a Albertsons.

 

I think they like to break down the pallets and product count as you wait.

Or some are just really slow.

Or both.

 

Yes.

 

My last one took 8 hours. I emphasize LAST ONE.

I have sat longer.
