Indian Hills Produce — Local services in Groveland

If it were possible to assign zero stars, I would certainly do so. This establishment ought to feel ashamed of their lack of consideration for fellow human beings. Despite my fiancé never having been to this facility before to deliver produce, he was treated with utter disrespect simply for parking in front of the "yellow" poles.

The road leading to the facility is completely unsuitable for trucks, and even before parking near the "yellow poles," he was asked by an officer to relocate from the dirt road to avoid being ticketed. In order to avoid a ticket, he made the decision to park in front of the poles.

He was the first in line alongside a Caucasian gentleman, whereas my fiancé, being a person of color, faced a different experience. An elderly lady, dressed in a black shirt and capri blue jeans, approached him with a rude tone and asked, "What is wrong with you?" She also uttered nasty remarks under her breath. Subsequently, one of the workers informed him that management had stated, and I quote, "We won't unload your truck first because you did not follow the protocol by blocking the entrance," asserting that the broker should have communicated the rules. Well, guess what? These so-called "brokers" are often unaware of most facility rules, and the truckers are limited to the information they receive. Interestingly, the facility proceeded to unload the four trucks behind my fiancé first, all of which were driven by Caucasian individuals, and then continued to unload a few more trucks driven by other Caucasian drivers.

Despite arriving promptly at 7:10 am, well before the 8 am opening time, my fiancé was not unloaded until almost 1:00pm. I strongly encourage all drivers, especially those who are people of color, to avoid this dreadful place at all costs. Unfair treatment awaits you, regardless of your background.

I can guarantee that my fiancé will never transport produce for this facility again. Although I am not a woman of color myself, both my fiancé and my son are. This establishment should face closure and be subjected to fines. I intend to file a formal complaint with the US Department to address this...

What can I say about my experience at this place..... IT WAS THE MOST STUPID PLACE THAT I HAVE EVER BEEN!... To start, they have a habit (I'm not the first, I find out) of punishing a driver for parking across the street of their facility, they put you to be unloaded it at lasts off every body else, they claim that the broker it's aware of it "NO PARKING" . Now... How in that hell a first time driver that comes to this place knows THAT!.. if he/she hasn't been told by anybody, 99.9% of the businesses they are smart enough to have a sing at the entrance specifying their regulations, especially to avoid issues like this. My problem with these people is that.... we the drivers have enough issues with the rates and fuel prices to come to places like this to be playing childless and power games. PS. Because of this I lost my next load. THANKS A LOT! Indian...

AVOID THIS PLACE DRIVERS!

I came yesterday to pick up a load and when they scaled me out I was almost overweight and I told the ma’am at the scale if there was a possibility that they would take away one or two pallets because I was not going to have space to put Diesel, the ma’am told me that there’s nothing to do and I had to leave like this when I put Diesel on and I weighed myself I was almost 700 pounds over the limit, the Broker told me that he had to send me back to have the full load unload and I arrived here I am the only truck in the place and I have more than 6 hours waiting for them to call to unload me. More trucks came to load and unload and they have left me last. By the way, the lady who’s answering the phone in the transportation area is too rude and unprofessional, she should go take a Costumer Services course and learn how to...
