In a recent survey, drivers at over 150 trucking companies were asked who they hate delivering to most. For those drivers at least, the most hated receivers are grocery stores.
Conducted by Zipline Logistics, the survey was actually about the impact ELDs have had on drivers in their network. But one of the questions asked if there were any shippers or receivers that drivers just flat-out refused to go to. Grocery store chains like Kroger, Walmart, and Safeway were mentioned more than any other receiver.
“Any of the big grocery places, they’re out to mess with you,” owner-operator Chad Boblett told Business Insider. “They create an atmosphere of animosity when dealing with them.”
Notoriously long detention times at grocery stores are one reason for the problem. But at some locations, delivery windows can cause huge headaches. One respondent wrote that being even 30 minutes late for a delivery can mean getting new appointments “2-3 days to a week later.”
Even if drivers aren’t waiting for days on end to deliver a load, HOS rules mean that detention times can kill a whole day of driving. That makes some drivers shun grocery stores entirely – even the ones who try and make the wait more bearable.
“It doesn’t really matter how many free snacks or how many free Diet Cokes you have,” said Zipline President Andew Lynch. “If you’re taking up four hours of a driver’s time, you’re ruining their day. And no amount of free pretzels can make that up.”

And You Are Right Business Is Business Can’t Pay A Light Bill With Pretzels’
Rodney Githens says
Produce in general sucks. Too many receivers and shippers treat drivers like third class citizens. I’ve waited over 10 hours to pickup and deliver more than once. If I had to haul produce full time, I’d find a new job.
Bruce says
You forgot Walgreens. They are ridiculous. They set a new standard when it comes to wasting time. It’s like they’re on the verge of going bankrupt or something. They make sure they have every piece down to the last raszor. Crazy 😜
Randy Donathan says
I used to drive for Walgreens.
I would go out for my route at 4am come back 10 to 12 hours later and the same trucks that were in a dock when I left were still in the same dock when I got back.
I would never deliver to a Walgreens DC
Mike C. says
I delivered to a Walgreens dc once and I was in and out . Don’t really know what went wrong .
Dale says
Couldnt agree more, hate them wont do loads.
Stephen Vitelli says
All we have to do is all go on vacation the same week that would solve a lot of the bull problem is nobody will stick togeather don’t be job scared we got this thing in our hip pocket if you really want it if you don’t quit complaining! Response is welcome@ haywire91853@gmail.com
Ri ma says
This is why I’m going part time in 2019. Truckers are afraid to stand together.
Trucker Dave says
Shall we plan to take off the last 2 weeks of December 2019 and the first two weeks of January 2020? I could use a nice long vacation next winter! Trucker Dave
Don Porche' says
Just the opposite when Walgreens opens up a new store it is already paid for and making money. Unlike CVS and some others that borrow money.
Kathleen says
Don’t forget FMart aka Walmart lol!!!!
Karl Caldwell says
Loblaws / Provigo boucherville in my opinion is the worst place to deliver in the province of Quebec
Robert L Reed says
Delivered Bananas from Tx docks to Loblaws/ Regina Canada.I Always was detailed over 18 hrs. over a 13 month tenure.m L B said the product has to be gassed and held in their facility before they allow a
B L signature. Broker pay on Miles showed over 2200. My pay shows
1770 and No Detention PAY ! It was normal to have a 5 day transit appt. window.. DAH.
BROKER AND TRUCK Co. pocketed a large sum of my alledge pay , plus I was Taxed fraudulently on Both Canada and N D Income tax.
ND then assert to have repaid to driver these ND tax which show as going into their pockets and NOT BEING PAID..> ID THEFT .. new tax no# assigned by Canada >to US worker / driver>>>> DAHL TRUCKING
Robert L Reed says
LOBLAWS> Regina, Saskatoon Canada , Fisher Rd. Said I Have too Buy Steel toed boots at local Canada Walmart, prior allowed D C entry..!! I went n bought boots ..$97.00. then return and show security the boots .. I was told I not Have to put boots on ! just have them.. IE DRIVER NOT ALLOWED ON DOCK ! Upon Entry to Ship/ Receiving desk .. I witnessed turban heads n other drivers (up to 18) in Flip fops , teeny shoes and other foot ware. SCAM . never was paid any detention time at this facility…100+ loads..
Eric Evans says
Bob’s Transport out of Jessup. I’ve waited 5+ hours… and you can’t wait in your truck.
Barney says
Where did you end up waiting?
I’ve had this scenario a couple times, so- I called dispatch, locked truck on their property, took a cab to a motel and took a 34 hr reset- didn’t say a word to the shipper. To hell with them, they were astonished and quite nice to me when I returned nice and relaxed, feeling fresh!
Darren says
Thats exactly why Inwill NOT deliver to GS Distribution centers! If enough drivers stand up and refuse to deliver they will have to change the way they do things or get no freight moved!!
Tony Hippensteel says
This is why I got out of trucking! I delivered to Walmart DCs nearly exclusively.
Because Walmart will not let you park on their property prior to or after your delivery, having to deal with electronic logs everytime I delivered to a Walmart I would go into violation because I would get as close as I could to the DC lets say the night before at 10pm for a 7am appointment. Then in the morning as soon as I moved the truck to drive in I would be in violation because in reality I couldnt move legally until 8am.
All these types of shippers and receivers could care less about you and the DOT rules. I love how the government and all these trucking organizations keep telling us how these shippers and receivers will be doing their best to help us comply with these stupid ELD regulations. What a joke!
The government says the ELD mandate is all about safety…..Well I can tell you this…..Since the day one was installed in my truck I did crazy stupid things I NEVER did before having one in the truck.
A C Deck says
You are totally right. I got out of driving because of such things. CVS also sucks.
Tucker says
Don’t fall off your high horse. You know the 8/2 sleeper rule exists, right? There was absolutely no reason for you to have gone in violation in the scenario you described.
Barney says
Wrong- it’s 10 hrs in the U.S
Kaiyla says
actually, 8 hours sleeper does stop your clock but not reset it fully. You won’t be in violation. However, that cuts into the full 10 hour break you have to have to reset your clock.
randy l boan says
This could all have been cured by an hourly rate that starts at the appointment time on the BOLs.That should have been included in the HOS new regs , your there on time and ELDs confirm it then the clock starts at one hundred dollars an hour.Thats the rate the lumpers charge to unload you.
Kenny says
Yep👍 trucking needs to change pay structure..mileage pay is a dumb, punitive accounting scam, trucking companies LOVE, yet only hurts & penalize the drivers. ..as all the comments above illustrate. Truckers MUST advocate for hourly pay. All your complaints about detention, parking, breakdowns, HOS, etc issues will be minimized; and trucking pay and job satisfaction might be rewarding again. As it is now, who wants to start a career in trucking.. Nah..
Brez says
This survey nailed it! Please add Aldi in Disputanta, VA to the list. A passel of incompetent idiots.
Terence W Ball says
Target…they broke my trailer and denied it…we are forced to drop off the trailer and park…
Robert L Reed says
Winn Dixie/Fl. Lumper stuck a forklift ram thru top of my trailer . Said I did it prior to Del … Tide detergent /product was DRY .
Percheron1 says
hang a mini-dashcam inside on sidewall of the trailer near the door hinge pointing forwardward…very difficult for them to argue against video…:)
Shawn says
Just when you got it all figured out
To where you can make a few lousy bucks
They change something so that you can not make that happen anymore Because you are not allowed to make more money are as much as the people who run this world
waynesworld says
Lol y’all hands do know that walmart & kroger could careless what everyone thinks, they gonna keep doing what they do, to many trucks at them mega carriers that are forced dispatch to keep them in business lol
Supertrucking says
“Mega” carries only make up 10% of the industry.
Don Porche' says
I’m not denying that put where did you get that info from.
R.J. says
I’m in my 60’s and Walmart takes the cake…bar none.
R.J. says
Only once was Walmart reasonable…. almost fast.
I had Pringles on board and Walmart had them on sale.
I was unloaded and gone in an hour…door to gate.
So they CAN do it.
WHEN they want to ! ! !
Robert L Reed says
Been to 1000 Walmart /D C>> USA. Never got out inside of 8-10 hr. Lots were 24 hrs. detain.. Say you are Late .. pay NO DEMERGE..
Dj says
Screw all these warehouses. Get a job with an LTL company where you can make some money for everything you do.
Some trucker says
Do you work for PittOhio?
Mike Blanche says
If Werner, JB Hunt, Schneider, and the other companies would say, as of April 1, 2019, our drivers will no longer load, unload, or pay for loading or unloading freight, and we will charge $200/hour for detention, beginning at the end of 2 hrs after the appointment time, charge it at $3.34 per minute, and enforce it all, they could eliminate most of this problem. But when a grocery warehouse gives 50 trucks the same 4:00 appointment, makes you wait outside the property until they call you in, and then house a sign over the receiving desk, “We are not in the business of unloading trucks. If you are not prepared to unload your truck or pay unloaders to unload it, you might as well leave now” (Winn Dixie, Fort Worth), you are going to have problems keeping drivers.
Noreaster says
Not in the business of unloading trucks? How’s a warehouse not in the business of handling wares?
Don Porche' says
What i think he’s trying to say is the warehouse ordered the freight and you should not have to pay for the lumper for there freight.
Mike C. says
I would leave , it wouldn’t be the first time .
Lady Doe says
WALMART THE WORST! BUT PRODUCE PORTS AND PRODUCE PEOPLE DON’T CARE EITHER. WITH THE ELD LOGS SHIPPERS AND RECEIVERS ARE KILLING US. AND THE GOVERNMENT DON’T CARE. WE ARE STRESS TO THE MAX.
Kenny says
If drivers are MANDATED by the UD Govt to work an hourly job..by being forced to operate with an ELD..then perhaps it’s time to demand an HOURLY wage…Mileage pay is a 1930’s era idea not necessary. Technology can price logistic freight movement on a hourly cost now.!!
Kelly Randle says
Let us not forget about awg. Associated wholesale grocers. In my opinion they are the absolute worst, nation wide. My truck will never be on their property again, at any location. If you’ve never been, then don’t concern yourself with your hours. They will make sure you get a ten hour break in the dock.
Willie Cordova says
Hands down KingSoopers in Denver hate hate hate they have the worst attitudes towards drivers especially if you don’t speak Spanish and want to treat you like your stupid
Craig says
10/4 hate hate hate that place. Only good thing is available parking.
Drifter says
That’s why I got into tankers. Screw grocery houses and yes, Walmart was the worst. Evan drop/hook was a hassle because they filled empty trailers with pallets so you’d have dispatch call to have a trailer unloaded so you’d waste another 4-6 hours cuz you pissed them off.
Noreaster says
6 hours at a shoprite dc once… 3 of them so the clerks could fill out a few pieces of paperwork.
Animosity for sure they have heavy security and cameras right in your face and they just like to be really aggressive.
I once criticized the militarization and the security guard was like we can go talk to the security manager if you’d like and I looked him straight in the face and said sure but I doubt he’ll listen to my opinion!
Security guard walked away after that!
Kevin Mcleod says
Please dont forget no overnight parking you cant come early so your eld will be running whole industry has become a joke no flexibility
Bruce says
I see Amazon putting Walmart out of business just as Walmart did to Kmart.
Anthony Bellard says
Walmart didn’t put Kmart out of business, that man hating, anti gun feminist spokeswoman did by threatening Kmart to stop selling guns did. America boycotted the chain because of her. FACT
R.B. Barnby says
I have no idea of who you are referring to, and I do not think I am alone.. I think your scenario is totally unfounded..
Sk says
You has a driver need the ability to and I am just going to say it adjusts your log’s to accommodate and thanks to the ridiculous work of eld’s your SCREWED but all trucking companies don’t understand that and so yes wait for it the magic word SERVICE FAILURE.
I am driver of 25 years and in those years I doctored my logs all the time to meet ridiculous delivery times and for mega-
Carriers.GROCERY STORES
SUCK!
R.B. Barnby says
SK I totally agree with you.. I refused to haul to grocery stores or warehouses. The breaking down of the pallets on the loads and not getting paid for the time you spend in the dock..
Mike C. says
the company I worked for years ago used to have mdse come in all palletized and broken down the way they wanted it . If it went to a certain section for bulk storage it was different . Any load that came in that was not palletized to their specs was sent back to the shipper or taken somewhere to be repalletized .
Luis says
So with awful receivers, like Kroger in Keller and Pepsi in Dallas, among the thousands which could be mentioned, and with ELD issues and HOS bull crap going on. I still don’t understand why truckers can’t unite to change things. How many times must it be said, “Trucks literally keep the country moving.” ? Park them for one week. Park them in Washington DC. Do a million truck march. Whatever. It’s about unity and standing up against government and capitalist idiots. Those receivers who don’t care will care when they have no products.
I’ve said it before, as have many, but so far no one will listen. It will have to change soon, or you all can keep complaining until the robots take over, then it won’t matter.
Kenny says
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍trucking is now an HOURLY job..led=govt controlling how much you make. Just log “on-duty,not driving” while eaiting/unloading. I know all of you los “off-duty”.. Oh, I know you say I make no money loving on-duty, not driving”. Well, then, you are helping the warehouse, trucking company/shipper victimize you.. Get it thro your head!! You are now a HOURLY worker..
jim brown says
Been a few years but when dropping at grocery center in Jacksonville, FL, was required to take off pallets on truck and re-pack on their pallets.
Mike C. says
I was told the same thing Made great profit off their blunder .
Robert L Reed says
Saw a Fed licensed/ Licensed to carry /DOT Driver SHOOT UP THAT DC. Lumpers told him that driver had to pay them to unload his Truck… Driver refused to pay.. He Told lumpers my truck ,your dock ..NO problem
Stetson hat / dress slack,driver began to pallet jack off his load.. then, They lumpers 3, Pinned driver up in his truck BAM BAM BAM Bam, lumpers came ah running out of truck! Said
they goin call cops.. Ok.. Cops came ,said want to see his Gun license !
Showed that to officer.. Officer asked . you got them bills signed Driver? No… Come on ..lets go get them BL ‘s signed !
Steven Griffin says
awesome a page to put bad receivers for truckers, awesome, more please
Steven Griffin says
rare to comment but always watch for info
Steve says
And they also impose large fines if you’re late for any reason. Affiliated Grocers, Associated Wholesale Grocers, etc..
I know drivers who have broken both laws and safety rules just to avoid the fines, and /or the extra 3 day wait. This even though being a little late was of no fault of their own. These fines and delays need to be banned if the FMCSA is at all concerned with Safety.
Mike C. says
I was at Ass. groceries in Manchester NH and I was told I had to build up all the pallets to a certain hight . I told them to unload the truck while I did and when they were done I went to the reciever and he said I had to build them up higher . I took my paperwork , I signed it “reciever refused to sign ” left them their copy and left .

Tyson,Cargill,Perdue and McLane will keep you hostage waiting on product, I spent 6hrs 45min at Mclanes last night then they charged me $450 lumper fee!!
Tommy Sargeant says
…and people wonder why shelves at the grocery stores are void of their favorite products for weeks at a time.
When customers stand and bitch at the registers, I just shake my head.
They wouldn’t understand even if you explained to them why the whole economy is taking a big dump due to the absolutely asinine and thoughtless, illogical “regulations” that have been put on truckers.
Talk about “biting the hand that feeds you”
Pretty soon someone is going to have to pull their heads out of…
Bob camden says
From an experienced point of view; $100 per hour for the truck is middle of the road. $120 to $130 per hour is on the upper side and $85 to $90 would be the bottom of the barrel.
But you know what, keep donating YOUr FREE time cause I still want my free $#!+
Jeffrey Eakman says
Walmart. Had a pickup at the warehouse below ABQ NM. Was 30 min early. Got into the dock area. Parked in front of the numbered door. A trailer was already there. Took in the manifest. Told that the trailer at the door was waiting for one more delivery to be completed.
37 hours later, it moved. I had a total reset. Could not get a new door assignment for my load. Seems the same load they waited on was my pickup.
$50 a day for detention pay. Almost got fired because someone made agreements that did not involve my delivery.
Missed a delivery time and date. Quarterly bonus shelved.
Our bad was everyone’s response.
Mike Mascow says
I was 45 min late to a Walmart in London KY due to snow coming out of MN through WI and into IL.
I had 1 small pallet, pints of ice cream, I dont recall the brand but something really good.
The rest of the truck was destined for Lake City FL, and I wasn’t going to be late.
Walmart threatened that BS with me.
In a very calm but matter of fact voice, I told them, possession is 9/10ths of the law. I was willing to be that there wasn’t a judge in this land would think waiting 2 or 3 days for a new appt to del, making the NEXT appt late and me running a reefer for days would be a reasonable expectation.
It was about 8pm.
I told them I would take their ice cream 5 min down the road, there was a truck stop, and sell it to truckers CHEAP, take a fee for my trouble and mail them a check for any excess $ distributions left over.
They suddenly found a dock for me and in 30 min, they got their precious ice cream pints and II was back to trucking south.
I hate Walmart. I hate all grocers.
But, now I get $70 for detention after 2 hrs without trouble, so, I welcome grocery detentions. Kind of goofy, I know.
Mike Mascow says
I was willing to “bet”…not “be”
Darn autocorrect
Daniel says
Grocery is awful. I hate Metro. I recently just told my dispatch and manager I refuse to go back. After half a dozen deliveries, it’s just wasting my time because I’m dropping, not live unloading. I leave bobtail (which means no money) after dropping — but it took 2-hours just to drop and leave. I won’t go back – it’s wasting my time.
Robert D. says
Even tho I had delivered to grocery DC’s; Kroger, etc, in the past, I went for the first time into the Safeway DC in Tracy, CA a few years ago figuring for whatever reason that Safeway would run a “better ship”… Wrong- Maybe the worst!
Altho I was only there to pick up a preloaded trailer, it still took me a few hours while I had to stand in this line, wait in that line, and so on.
The atmosphere there reminded me of back when we were in grade school and the teacher would spontaneously leave the classroom for a moment leaving no one in charge, and utter chaos would erupt; students leaving their desks to do whatever, throwing paper airplanes, spit wads, all that juvenile behavior. The Safeway company drivers themselves showing NO courtesy or concern for safety, yard rules (seems like there were no yard rules), hanging out doing nothing and “flirting” with the girls working at their desks and distracting them from doing their work. I saw a number of drivers (both company and outside carriers) backing into doors while yakking away on their cell phones (I guess the gossip can’t wait!), not on hands free/speaker phones, but holding them in their hands.
On my way out I sarcastically said to the woman sealing up my trailer and checking me out, (one of those who was enjoying the flirting) basically what I posted here and she replied “I know, lot’s of drivers complain about this. We have a safety coordinator who just does not care”…
Bob Shephard says
They should make all those load drop and hook. And have the wholesaler call the company when the trailer is empty.
TheRealTrucker says
I hate produce, that’s why I got out of it. One receiver charges me 250.00 for being 5 mins late and then another 250.00 for having to make a new appointment. And I couldn’t wait on property so had to go back the next day. Get in their longass line and do it again.
Brian says
If you put up with crap, you will get more crap.
Think about the definition of madness. To do the same thing, and expect a different outcome.
If you allow yourself to be treated like a driving whore I have no pity for you.

Insanity.
Tim says
Drop yards for OTR drop an hook. Local daycabs will do the rest. Security guards guard the yard.
Glenn says
I have a list longer than my…arm of ridiculous receivers Ive encountered over the years I drove. The national chains were consistently the worse. And if they were union, they were constantly bitching & miserable about their job so they made it as miserable as they could for me as well. Union warehouses in general are the worst regardless if grocery or any other commodity, they suck.
– any Sysco (the one in Cinci takes the cake)
– any Albertson’s
– any Walgreens
– any White Swan’s
– any warehouse that requires all the freight transferred to small pallets
– countless cold storage facilities
– any friggin meat or chicken processing plant including but not limited to Excel, Swift and the one in Liberal, KS where i waited 3.5 days one time over New Yrs for my meat load going 2 some union grocer on the east coast that was on strike & took 2 days to offload me.
It’s all the non-stop endless bs like that crap that kept piling up until i finally said ‘enough is enough of this bs’ & I climbed out of the truck after 2 million miles & found something else to do for a living that actually pays me for everything I do, make significantly more $$ & I enjoy it immensely: helping real estate agents get leads via digital media.
Ive always liked big trucks but it got to the point I hated what the industry had turned into & its only gotten worse. Wait to see what happens in the next 3+ years cause its circling the drain already.
Gary says
Food Lion was awful. The one in Salisbury NC took longer to check in than it did to get unloaded. Even the lumpers were outside the warehouse looking for me. I arrived one hour early but was an hr. and 39 min. late getting to the door.
Giovanni Socci says
Am I out of sinch with my fellow truckers? WM is not as bad as say…Food Lion (a hell hole of a place) Nor is Kroger as bad as HEB in south Texas.
HEB and FLion take the cake,SYSCO may be worse than both…
Katie says
HyVee has to be one of the best grocery places to deliver they treat you with respect and there’s times you can even get in there early and they get you out as quick as possible
Douglas Walters says
In the early days of the trucking industry most drivers were owner operators. Unloading your truck for a customer was a service the driver provided. We no longer live in the 1920’s or 1930’s. Before becoming a truck driver I was an Industrial Mechanic for a contract packaging company. We stacked pallets to customer requirements. Grocery warehouses are state-of-the-art and very efficient in every aspect accept for receiving. The driver should not have to wait for the load to be unloaded, broken down, restacked and counted. The truck should be unloaded counted and any OS&D claim should be made and the driver should then be released. This shouldn’t take more than 1 hour at the most. This whole process is still done the same way it was done in 1920! It’s ineffeciant and the only person that it hurts is the driver. Why do we know this? Because every other aspect of the modern day grocery warehouse is state-of-art. The shippers and consignee’s could resolve this issue easily if they wanted to but it doesn’t make them money. That’s why it hasn’t changed. These businesses aren’t looking down the road and seeing the big picture. There has been a driver shortage since I entered the industry and it has gotten worse. Millenials won’t do this job. Not for the best pay that’s out there and sitting at a grocery warehouse for 8 to 20 hours, which was my longest detention time at a grocery warehouse, is totally unacceptable to them. So instead of raising wages the big companies are recruiting drivers from Eastern Europe and India and investing large amounts of money into autonomous semis. The only problem with the new technology is, the CEO’s of these large trucking companies thought of their drivers as trained apes instead of assets of the company. All of these CEO’s are so busy slapping themselves on the back because they think they have finally cut the 2nd biggest expenditure, the driver. With my detailed knowledge of modern day semi automated production lines I can tell you that anything mechanical and electronic will fail at some point. In a production line it will tear things up. In a semi it will kill people and that is not an if, that is a when. I find it funny that the trucking industry keeps saying autonomous trucks will mainstream in 20 years. Scientists have reported that Artificial Intelligence might be on it’s own by 2100. Right now scientists are have trouble trying to teach A I the concept of taste. One scientist reported the they really underestimated the human brain.
Justin says
I delivered to a few grocery warehouses at the beginning of my driving but after being treated so bad I refused to do it again
I can’t believe driver would put up with waiting three days for a new appt
I would just leave
And my cargo would get vandalized while I was in a motel or restaurant
Jon says
I have been out of trucking for over six years. BUT I do remember going to a food warehouse in SLC where I only had 3 pallets to unload. I waited around at the dock for over 3 hours to no avail. I saw an LTL truck which unloaded and the driver was on the dock BSng with the receiver but I did not let myself get worked up. I went to the office and asked why it was taking so long to which you already know the answer. Rather than get all worked up and pissed off I decided to work my way up the food chain. I got on my phone, called the warehouse main switchboard and worked my way up to the general managers office. Because they probably never had a call like mine and I kept my wits about me and acted professional they were very receptive. When I walked back to the receivers office they climbed allover each other to get me unloaded. Im saying that it will work for you and it may never work for me again but remember “nothing ventured nothing gained”.
Paul Thomas says
Some dc’s just suck. When I pulled dry van for Werner I’d log off duty when I arrived and then showed 1 hour on the logs for the unload. Never got called out on it.
These days I pull a flatbed. Never really have issues with unload times.
Schoob413 says
Name one grocery store chain that gives you anything free while in the dock. I’ll be waiting. So far in 6 years out here all I’ve found is free ice cream at Unilever in Covington, TN and Fricks Pies in Pauls Valley, Ok will send you off with 2 hot pecan pies. Everywhere else its the same vending machine junk.
LazyBastard says
“Queen Elsa”, head of receiving at Nakoosa Rd WalMart, Madison, WI. Didn’t ring the bell at the exact minute? Oh, too bad. Done with your delivery and need to leave? She’ll unlock the door for you after she’s done checking in a 5 pallet load from FedEx.
When I told her I was late and would happily use the fire exit, she sneered at me.
Did you know those doors really are connected to the entire building’s fire alarm?
Stay safe, drivers.
Corruptdigit says
Did I miss something? Where is the named worst company? Author of this article is an idiot.
Scott says
I’m sick and tired of all these trucking companies that say they can’t find enough drivers then they don’t increase the pay.
Anonymous says
Channel Control LLC in MS is horrible. They don’t honor appointments and unload those without appointments before some appointments. You will be waiting there a while.
Kaiyla says
which is why I get paid by the hour. I don’t care if I sat at a customer’s dock for 6 to 8 hours, I still get paid.
RENE says
Been coming to Safeway in Tracy CA. and is the same BS, not proficient at all. they have a lumper company and you have to call Colorado wiith your x code. Than you have to wait for them to release you, and could take up 2 hour after being empty. Just Disgusting these companies don’t hire their own employees, and hire these con artist lumper companies that charge over 200 dollars for 1/2 hour work. Then they pay the worker 12 dollars and no benefits.
RENE says
Lumper companies are crooked, they charge 180 dollars to unload 1 pallet in phoenix AZ. Companies need to hire their own employees cause is more efficient. We truckers are fef up with their lack of respect.
