Pilgrim's Pride Sumter — Local services in Sumter

Come with your truck and refer full of fuel. Make sure your trailer is clean and wear a hi-vis safety vest. There's a possibility you will be rejected for one or all of these things otherwise. When you arrive please have your driver's license ready. You need to show it at the guard check. Your next stop is at the weigh scale. Enter the shack, have your driver's license and your pick up numbers readily available. You'll take your scale ticket to the shipping office. Please park off to the side, do not block the driveway. I suggest you wear work boots this part is especially important You do not want to ruin your good shoes or have bacteria on your feet wearing flip-flops. I suggest you keep your windows closed and Be prepared for the smell. It can make you gag. Once at the shipping office you will give them your phone number. They will call you when they have a door available. Slide your tandems to the rear and open your doors. Be mindful that you're going to be walking in gross water or sludge hence the reason for the work boots. I arrived for my appointment at 2200 hours. At 2300 hours I was in a dock door. At 0300 I had my paperwork in hand. Now return back to the weigh scale. Bring all your paperwork inside to the guard. He will double check the paperwork and check your seal on your trailer for those that were getting loaded. All of the staff were polite and courteous. I left my work boots inside by my driver's side door until I was able to get to a truck stop that had a water spicket so that I could wash my boots off with soap and remove the smell from them. I gave them three stars for the time that I had to spend there and the absolute worst...

Trucking companies, do not send anyone here if you want to keep them driving for you!

Wow, just wow. The most disgusting place I've been to in my entire life. A real live chicken Gotham. Worn down, everything is wet. Smells terrible. Flies everywhere.

33.8639914, -80.3663635 is the actual loading spot. If you get door 5, it's the "hole", where you see the dump truck. So chicken scraps are being unloaded via conveyer belt into the dump truck right in front. That little square outline is speed bumps creating a chicken cess pool of waste. YOU HAVE TO GO IN IT TO GET STRAIGHT INTO 5. AKA YOU WI BE SLIPPING, HAVE TO LOCK YOUR DRIVES AND GET THAT JUICE ALL OBER YOUR TIRES. My truck was smelling for hours after. Luckily it rained on my trip and it went away.

You have to play the floor is lava to get to the door into the building. You will not win. Prepare to put your shoes, clothes, everything into a bag afterwards. Won't be able to wait with the windows open. You will have to run your truck or have an apu. 75% of the area is wet and there are puddles of clear/green chicken juice.

Waiting time wasn't terrible though. Took 5 hours from when getting in, to getting paperwork. Thinking of this place literally gives me shivers though. No photos for fear of dropping my phone in the slime.

This was on October, so I can't imagine it...

Gave it one star because there is no option for no stars. Read all the reviews beforehand, however it's much worse and then some. If you are unable to give this load back make sure you have two pairs of footwear you are willing to throw away. One pair to drop off paperwork and the other to pick up paperwork. You do not want to bring this smelly slime into your truck. Luckily I had a towel on the driver's side under pedals that I was able to put my footwear on. The smell was so bad I ended up throwing shoes, socks, and towel out the window. If you have a weak stomach be prepared to vomit the minute you take your first whiff and see the guts pouring into a dumpster, blood dripping from there as well. You will be walking on all of that disgusting bacteria. It's much worse than described. No one.drivers, employees, no one should have to be exposed to these...
