The WORST Shippers and Receivers - Truckers WILL NOT Buy Their Products!

Home depots suck only have a 4 hrs window to drop off. If you miss it then got to wait to the next day.

 

Not exactly a fan of Stop N' Shop Freetown in Assonet MA. Slow, totally screwed-up. And the local drivers are like flys at a picnic... can't git rid of them - they're always hanging out at the local (very limited parking) truck service plazas off of I495.

 

Big Al,

Thanks for the input on the seals / food grade comments. Guess I never thought about it that way.

Thanks!

 

I picked up frozen veggies once at a warehouse in Rochester, MN. Can't remember the name off hand. Nice place but i swear it was being run by a bunch of clowns. No one knew where i was to go. I even had the loading dock # on my paper work. They still had me running around for like 4 hrs. Then i got loaded at the dock on my paper work. Some times i think these places do this to give us a hard time and watch us run around.

 

Im guessing it was Seneca, I think thats the name of the place. Right off of Hwy 63 or broadway. Got loaded there once and yes they don't know whats going on in there.

Yep thats it that place is run by clowns. I hate to go there that why i like to stay on flatbed over the reefer thing.

 

Oh come on now... you're telling us there's no jerks for shippers on the flatbed side of the world?

 

ya there is you know it.

 

Sam's Club/Walmart DC's. I've never seen a more uptight company with uptight policies and uptight workers.

Relax, por favor!

 

i think the walmart DCs keep us on purpose to actually save money. Using us as temporary storage and paying the measly detention pay is cheaper then expanding their warehouse/freezers. $240 per truck a day is far cheaper than spending hundreds of thousands on space that may not be needed when the seasons change. If all carriers raise their detention fees to $100/hr then i will be in and out of those walmart DCs in an hour.

One driver I was talking to was at one of those for 2 days with ice cream and they just came out to check the temp every hour or two. The only reason I can see them doing that is because they dont have room in the freezer.
