Stop letting truck drivers review delivery or pickup stops. Who cares if it takes long to load, that's your job, deal with it.

Report
Friendly people but would not come back for another live load. The bins here are hand loaded and not palletized. Loading takes a very long time. Not saying the guys loading are not working hard but there are too many hours spent waiting here that needs to be spent on the road instead. 1-2 hours is the industry standard, 3+ hours is a disqualifier. Sorry guys, not in the business of spending this much time just to load, you have to realize it takes time to actually drive and deliver the things loaded too..
