    Planters in Fort Smith, AR. I swear it seems like they wait until you get there to start cooking the peanuts. Whatever you do, don't go in hungry with no food on the truck. I made that mistake the first time and the delicious smell was like torture.

    Aldi's DC in Tully, NY
    C&S grocery warehouse in N. Hatfield, MA

    Only been to Aldi's twice. Both times was 6 to 8 hours. Absolute cluster. C&S has taken 10 hours more than once. It's all one product also. It's not like they had to sort through 20 different items.

    General Mills in KCMO. Got a 10-hour break and then some waiting for my "preloaded" trailer. So far I have successfully avoided returning to that place.

    Any JamesHardie Hardieboard plant. Pulaski Virginia and the one in Illinois off 80 can be an all day affair. Gerdau steel in Cartersville Georgia can be 10 hours plus

    We are sent to meat plants early enough to drop our trailers, then take a 10, or 15, or however long it takes to turn those cows into delicious steaks.

    Target, you never know how long you will be stuck there. I had one up by Chicago, I got in before 8 and drove out promptly after 5. Rush hour traffic both before and after...such a deal!

    Haven't had to deal with it since I quit Wilson, but the King Soopers in Denver you can ###### near always finish a 10 hour break between Check-in and getting a dock.

    Was a place I picked up in Houston (don’t remember the name) but when you check in they tell you do drop your trailer in a door, disconnect go to the fence and start your 10 hr break, they where loading rolls on insulation and had to “build the pallets, so would take 8-9 hrs
