Could be much, much better. Reasonable attention to health and safety, so good on that front. I do like the use of appointments to spread out the flow of trucks.

Downside: time. Easy to spend 6 or more hours here from entry to exit. This mystifies me because they could remove the odds and ends they have sitting in the second process lane to reopen it. As it is, you arrive at your appointed time, then get in line. Once you arrive at the front of the line, you enter into a drive through warehouse with 4 loading bays, each with its own crane. Different stock is in each bay, so if you are getting a mixed load, you'll be loaded in several bays.

It's all single file, so you have to wait for the bay ahead of you to clear before you may proceed. Nothing is staged ahead of time, so each item must be individually extricated from the stacks within the warehouse.

If you happen to be picking up just from bay 1, they'll let you back out so you can secure your load and be on your way.

Here's what mystifies me. Even if they don't send trucks in through the second lane, they could allow trucks to exit that way. I know for a fact I held the line up for 30 minutes today while they tried to dig out particular items.

If you get past one minute late, they wont load you or will send you to last possible loading spot. And once youre inside plant, they will take forever the hell forever to load you. Cant win at this...

I would not advise anyone to say you dont like this place. They costed me my job. Although it was i was irritated because my gps took me a bad way which happens to most drivers. Other than that it really doesnt bother me. If i offended you sensitive people im...
