Why I Avoid Grocery Warehouses

Where's the picture? OK, it just posted!
Grocery warehouses and places like Americold hire the scum of the local populace. They're truly the village idiots of the area. It's like a breath of fresh air dealing with flatbed and tanker customers. If you've ever seen the movie, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", that is a good example of grocery warehouse employees mentality.

 

You should put up your own sign with your demands!!

 

I was 5 minutes late to Walmart affer driving in a blizzard. Company even called and gave a heads up. I sat in their break room for 10 hours. No lying ans since I couldn't sleep was forced to take a second 10 hour.

 

I went to one in Ohio one time and the guy in the receiving office gave me the wrong door number. I backed in and waited. Finally they said they gave me the wrong door number, so now I'm late because I'm in the wrong door and to reschedule for tomorrow. I though he was joking, but he was serious and that's what I had to do.
After that I quickly learned "payback" from other reefer drivers. I became an expert at short stacking and putting maybe 50 extra pallets on the trailer to sell. Made a game out of it, just for entertainment. Treat me with respect and keep it businesslike and I'll return the respect. Do something stupid, and payback can be costly because my heart turns ice cold at that point.

 

I simply would never do refer, end of story.

 

I sold my reefer in 2005 ...
since that day no walgreens, no targets, no SVC, no no mclanes if they will not pay good, no other big grocery whses. I do only wal-marts. I have dry van since 2005
