I came early about an hour and from the minute I got to the counter I was greeted by alisha and she was so friendly all she needed was some wings on her back Angel she worked hand and hand with audra and there where motivates to put me in a door and within 15 mins in a door and started and mike was also helpful letting me know what side docks to go to great experience would come back great staff and people like that who understand and help us get in out great time thanks 90’s bulls right there hold on to them
Strict Appointments only! Do not come here unless you have a lot of hrs remaining. Even with appointment good luck getting loaded or unloaded. They usually take 3 plus hrs. Not the most friendly ppl here! Avoid if you can.Your time is not valuable here!
Super nice. Fast unload even though broker failed to make me an appointment. Thank you very much guys
I was here to pick up a load.I saw the reviews and was skeptical but it was going where I needed to go, so I accepted it. My experience wasn’t bad at all. I was about an hour early and they put me in a door right away. I was out 30 minutes after my appointment. Overall it was a decent experience. I would probably give them another chance.
I currently work here as a Forklift Operator, and this is one of the best places Ive worked for. They run 3 shifts and do their hiring through Williamson Employment Services. My fellow team members, and, the supervisor/management team are a great bunch of people to work with!

Plenty of room for truck maneuvering. Has overnight parking for truckers waiting for dock call
I have been a city driver peddling freight in Grand Rapids for the last 25 years. Been delivering to Columbian for just as many, always dreaded the thought of coming to this place, whether it be Dixie, Hall Street, Kraft, or 36th street. Until today, I had the pleasure of meeting Nicole Latting at the 36th street facility. The very first time I’ve ever delivered to any Columbian facility that anyone ever smiled, and actually made the driver feel welcome. Hopefully she is the new standard for all the facilities to live up to, it makes a drivers day, to feel like we’re someone.
Came the night before, there is an overnight parking! My appointment was at 11am I checked in 7:30 am and was empty within 45 minutes, partial load 8-9 pallets! Thank you
Slow getting a dock. But was unloaded pretty fast. Lots of backing room. Would come back
People are awesome, place is well maintained. Bit of a challenge to get into the docks especially, in the day time, but, all in all, a whole lot better than a lot of places out there that treat you a little less friendly.
Their loaders are very very slow. I had appointment at noon and i was there 9:30 am. They gave me dock and told me to wait till my appointment time. Loader put a lock on at 4:00 pm and finished at 7:00 pm, 3 hours just to load 22 skids. Don’t come to this place ever.
Our driver arrived at 10:35 for his 11:00 appointment and was told he would be a work in. Even if this was a broker error, it still took this company until AFTER midnight to unload our driver. When they finally decided to unload our driver, it only took 30 minutes. Its appalling that they treated our driver as if he didnt matter nor his time. NO place is too busy to not unload a driver and take OVER 13 hours.No employee there seemed to find it of any importance to squeeze our driver in and make another truck wait for 30 minutes so they could unload our driver any earlier. We will never return.
Be prepared as a driver to be there 11 to 12 hours or more to get unloaded the employees were professional and treated as drivers with respect but I highly recommend they improve the loading time
Just read the other reviews, was on time for my appointment and still waiting 2 hours 45 later, this is not an acceptable way to treat truck drivers, avoid at all costs.
Pretty easy to find.
AVOIDE this companyDon’t deserve even one starAppointment 1 PMCheck-In 11.30 Now 3.20Haven’t started yet
Worst place I ever been waiting time not last 10 hours for loading drivers avoid to go there
Appt.for 19:00, Driver got there at 19:15 and they rejected him immediately!! Rude lady from receiving!! Appts made through broker only.
6 hours loading time I showed up on time at my appointment, then had to wait for paperwork for 30 minutes. I never want to be back in here again.
Longer wait do not try to pick up or delivery the load to here the place is at list 10 hour wait
Terrible place to unload.Took forever
Trucks drivers avoid this place you will be here for minimum 5 to 6 hours
Appt for 02:00 pmIn 12:30pmOut 01:45pmA lots of space for maneuvering and overnight parking.
Be ready to sit bring lunch
Very rude screening process for hiring should be better
Check in 10:00am start unloading my trailer 13:00 pm They working on my load after 3hours no idea when I check out
The woman at the front desk are very nice!! But this place is very very slow!!! Great way to spend my birthday sitting here waiting on these people!! Been here 5 hours and still no door
I just love this place, the plant manager was very nice and offered me a hilo position and was going to train me because I have never drove one before. Great company with an amazing team of staff.
Very very slow, four and a half hours and still not loaded
Good
Good people, they do what theyre supposed to do. They are courteous helpful and get things done as soon as possible.
Terrible receiving!!! Rude people!!
When their transportation work is caught up, they allow their spotter to help at other facilities. This reflects their professionalism and commitment to One Team, One Mission.
Been here since 4hrs. They been unloading and didn’t turn the light to red, so I m confused what to do now.. so unprofessional..
Check in 11:00 am, 3 pm still not loaded 👌
Young, friendly helpful staff. So refreshingly welcome after days on the road getting slammed by usual shipper/receiver staffing attitude.
I had great experience with this customer.Loaded 15 minutes after appointment time.
Appointment time delivery, overnight parking available, no restrooms, porta potty only.
My driver arrived 15 minutes late for his 9 AM appointment. Was given a dock right away and unloaded in less than 30 minutes. He drove away with paperwork in hand at 10 AM. Thank you Columbian Logistics
Great Place!!! Do your job and they do theirs!!! Very fast and friendly and truck friendly!!! Thanks guys!!!
Got here to deliver but the lady in the front told me I was in the wrong address. The issue is that it is not clear where deliveries are suppose to go to when arriving... Normally we look for signs that tell us where to go, even some signs tell us where to park to check in(so we dont block anyone) but not here. We must figure it out. :(Hope they put up some signs :).
The girls in the office were always friendly and courteous about a 2 hour wait time for loading
Nice place. But I was not trying to rush the fat lady behind the counter. I do apologise if I appear rude. She was acting like I was being rude. I surely wasnt.
The whole time I was loaded the light never went Red. How are you supposed to know when theyre finished?
They took 4 hours to load 3 pallets. 👎🏻
Very nice Receiving fast loading
Even I was 4hrs later than appointment Took less than 2hrs to get loaded .
Too slow
Hv nt park
Was very slow getting me to a door, and when they finally went to put me in one, there was confusion (by them) as to what door to go to. Was waiting there in all just under six hours, and they were short on a skid.
People are great.
Been here three hours now. Still not loaded. Have one hour drive time left and it is running out now as I still wait. Very poor servicr
Have no info.
