Hershey Co — Local services in Hazle Township

This used to be a great place to drop and hook. Easy simple process check in with the guard, drive to shipping, and your load was either ready or maybe it wasn't, but we could just drop the trailer and bobtail out no problems at all before.

Then there's now, where they have a yard dog on a power trip thinking he is the owner of the drop lot and has his own set of procedures he believes are simple but they just delay the drivers. Now you have to guess what to do depending if he is there or not cause not all yard dogs are the same. So if the tyrant is there, you check in with the guard, drive near the drop lot, and sit and wait for him to come to you. Once he arrives, you better have the trailer # you are picking up, or he will start to get angry after all that you still have to go to shipping. If your load isn't ready, then he tells you to leave with the trailer. He doesn't care if there might be another load that needs to be loaded in the trailer you're bringing in and says it'll get done when you come back for your load. He claims this process is easier for the driver.

The staff were fine, decently friendly for graveyard shift, but not especially helpful.

Dude in shipping, said the loads are always late. I was dispatched late to pick up a loaded trailer, that was due almost 12 hours before I got there. It wasn't finished when I arrived, and took about 3 hours to leave with my trailer.

Truck drivers are not allowed to use he restroom inside the building. And the "drivers bathroom" (as it is labelled) is clear around the opposite side of the building from shipping/receiving. And there was not much help trying to find it.

Also the only Hershey plant in the country that I've been to, that doesn't give the truck drivers a couple...

I have a 2 year degree and 10 years experience. They want to start you at the bottom and take a test. Why I am sure I know more about system controls and automation than the Baby Boomer Supervisor or Manager that would be over me. Companies need to wake up they going to have robots and nobody to fix them.

Too many hoops to jump through for mediocre...
