Farm Fresh Foods: Driver check-in — Local services in Albertville

Gravel lot, no sign at entrances. If you are not careful or it is your 1st time here, you'll miss it. What helps is that you'll see the semis staged or parked. Great place to park, however, re-entering traffic to go back to or just go to the Farm Fresh Foods Warehouse where we get loaded or unloaded, is challenging because passenger cars barely ever slow up and allow truckers to pull out.

Definitely a quiet place to sleep!

The drivers check-in lot is where you'll go first. This is where they will hold you hostage. 1300 appointment arrived at 0400 (only reason it deserves the one star) (allowed to stay) (it has overnight parking) told to stage would call when they're ready for me to go to a door (2 miles away). Didn't get a call until 2030. Once I got to the door, it was a fairly quick load, but the chickens must-have got lose or something. Because there is no way it should take 9.5 almost 10 hours past appointment times to get a darn load of chicken. Unless they were loading feathers one feather at a time. These people have no sense of urgency at all. Best of...
