i'd say on average, we showed up at about 7AM, and emptied by about 10 to 11 AM.
they would take out the cigs, put them onto pallets, the forklift guys (the actual warehouse workers) would take them away and store them.
cost back then was $150 per trailer load.
well worth it, cuz a case of cigs, can weight as much as 2 concrete cinder blocks.
JB Hunt, Schneider, Covenant, US Express, and other mega carriers would unload there as well.
waiting in line for your appointment time was normal. we always had first priority with the cigs loads.

I don't deal with many Lumpers anymore but in my meat hauling days the carrier billed the unloading back to the packer and the packer built it into the sale of the meat .
More and more of the unloading and gate fees are being pre paid .
The carrier im leased to simply won't take loads to problematic receivers .
Ran a load of grapes from nogalas az to the Chicago market a couple weeks ago for 6k ...no gate fee and no unloading in and out in less than 2 hrs .
In today's freight market there's no reason to take loads to hard to deal with receivers .Gearjammin' Penguin, nredfor88, Trucker61016 and 9 others Thank this. -

Lumpers are used so the warehouses can save on work comp insurance and less union employees. Most lumper services now are big companies that pay w2 and benefits. So not sure AB5 will hurt them. Maybe a minority that still work for cash etc
