Shippers and/or receivers that require a full 14.

I know of one... Amazon in Joliet, IL.
You can count on 6-8 hours at the minimum for a live unload.

 

That may be industry and commodity dependent.

Picking up produce from either Yuma or Salinas? It's almost like they give Dispatch the harvest time rather than the time when the load will be ready to ship.

Grocery distribution centers as receivers can be the same way. Did one where the third stop turned into a real fiasco because they did not have enough square footage on the dock to unload 2 of us. They ended up unloading and sorting 8 or so other trucks and put that stuff away. Then they started working the last 2. Both me and the other person where partial loads that both turned into about 50 skids each. Other driver had P&G shampoos, soaps, and other stuff. Each aroma had to go on it's own skid. Mine was candy bars but could not put the kingsize on the same skid as regulars, and no more than 2 products on a skid.

Amazon d.c.s: I planned an hour to check in -- Long line, three or more to unload, and an hour to come back and get my trailer. 5 hours or more on a good day.

Americold are so hit and miss that they also deserve a mention.

 

Jewel in Melrose Park, IL.

Any live unload of a PG health/beauty product load (usually breaks down to 300 pallets).

Most online only retailers.

Birdseye, Darrien, WI.

I don't deal with them much, but when I do they stand out in my memory.

 

OMG, standing in line there is pain staking... Reminds me of why I'll never pull van or reefer again.

That place is terrible. Jewel is a union grocery store too... enough said!!!

 

Associated God #### Grocers in Kansas City . Or almost any pork plant I’ve ever been to. Also I spent a month at US Cold Storage in Covington TN one night.

 

Hutch salt plant after a major storm. Expect an upto 24 hour wait there lol. My current record is 29 hours.

 

Aldi I'll never go back

 

Can't run out of hours anymore. You can stop the 14 after 2 hours.
