Bad places to load and unload
Since the Sharing of information is fair game,let’s all share the worst places to load and unload and to be fair the best. The brokers use statistics to set their rates,our insurance companies use our claims to jack our rates, and our wonderful financial institutions use our credit scores to set interest rates,so let’s all help each other. Our ability to make money depends on getting loaded and unloaded especially with elogs.
I will start it:
Bad:
Riceland Foods Stuttgart Ar-uncooperative employees, over 2 hrs no trucks in front to load
Rice hull specialties Stuttgart,Ar 4 hrs to load 3 trucks I was 3rd
Hills Pet Foods Emporia Ks 4 hrs unload
Bunge Grain Emporia 3 hrs to load lots of trucks in line loading
Purina Feed Shreveport La - lucky if unloaded in 4 hrs
Western Feed Cedar Vale Ks- nice folks slow unload
Good:
Atlantic Carriers Atlantic Ia - nice staff- act like they care- transfer load,well run
Cargill Wichita - soybean mill in& out quick
Planters Cottonseed Pine Bluff Ar- well managed you may wait but not b/c of incompetence
Ok everyone I shared, let’s hear from you. Remember, we as haulers have to share to adjust our rates upward or we will all go broke. The only way these places will change is by supply and demand. We have to stop the never ending cycle of cheap hauls to get the rates up. Nothing personal,not trying to hurt anyone or company, it’s just sharing of information like others do.. Remember share & share alike, that’s why I put good and bad places.
