Kroger-all of them are tied for the worst

Typical Anti-Union nonsense. I can't stand when people make generalizations like all Union workers are intentionally slow. Because there's no non-union lazy employees right? I don't stop working from when I clock in till when I leave minus my break. It's been the same with other Union positions I've had as well. YES, we like everybody else can and do get in trouble for not doing our jobs believe it or not. The only difference is we can have a 3rd party in the middle if it goes bad. We CAN also be fired contrary to popular belief. When I talk to drivers at other Union companies especially ABF those guys are worked like dogs! The 1 guy working 5 guys watching thing is the construction workers, not the rest of us!

 

I've been to that one in Tolleson. It's ridiculous. Thank God it was just a crap
CH Robinson load my boss got because the regular brokers had nothing

 

Well miracles do occur I guess. Went to Tolleson again with the exact same load as last time. Had a 2pm appointment and was expecting the worst. I checked in at noon and was out the gate by 245. I think I'm going to buy a lottery ticket today! Kind of a bummer though because I planned to lay over assuming I would not get out of there until late so I'm stuck overnight in the furnace named Phoenix.

 

That is a miracle. Good for you.

I'll be in that furnace tomorrow night, thankfully not at kroeger

 

I hate Kroger also! I sat at the Kroger DC in Memphis, TN for 9 hours and the kicker? Had to pay a $244 lumper fee, $244 to sit for 9 hours; what a joke.

 

The Kroger in Dallas, TX? Or is it Houston? Pretty sure its the DFW area...a dump outside, tight, cramped parking lots, poorly lit....designed for 35' trailers it seems. You have to call a crane out just to get you into some of these holes. Tight.

 

Sounds like Renoylds Wrap in Louisville, KY, designed for covered wagons to back in; not a 53'.

 

I've been to some Kroger DCs and they aren't too painful. Last one i was at was the Delaware, Ohio DC. Showed up at 7:30 for an 8 am appt.. Was out the door by 9:15.

 

Welp, some days yer the hammer and some days yer the nail. Nearly twelve hours after my appt. I'm still sitting in a door untouched. So much for my second stop.

Plenty of time to ponder how the hell anyone in this country manages to eat and why I'm such an ####### for pulling a reefer.

 

Maybe your paperwork got stuck under the pile, and they forgot about you. Happened to me before. That's why after a few hours of no shaking, i go in and check.
