Was kinda nervous after reading the reviews but my experience was good. A little tricky to get to but not bad. I would recommend early arrival. Plenty of parking, although signs say “no parking”. Park and walk to gate. Take ALL info, pen and a mask to be cautious (long walk). Fill out pre sign in form provided wit name and phone number etc. Perishable products can sign in at 0530. Non perishable at 0730. Go back to truck and wait. Good luck. Got a little crazy but no real problem. Attitude is everything.
Absolutely no reason other than pure incompetency why it should take over five hours to unload only four pallets. What adds insult to the whole process is this is standard for this company nationwide. Absolutely no regard for drivers needs.
It was my 1st time bringing a delivery in to this location ill just say have patience when your there. They are pretty busy throughout the day. So to avoid trucks blocking the entryway and exit. Just park on the street it the two cmv lanes are full. Get out of you truck check in with security. That will take a while but once checked in they will if they dont give you a door right away call you within 20 minutes of checking in. The unloading process is long for good reason so agian just be patient. Most likely your load items need to counted for accuracy after unloading before you get you bills.
This is the worth scenario that you can have as a truck driver. Appointment:09:00am. Checked in at 08:00 got door at 8:30. And is 4:00 pm and I’m still on door. How some driver can write a good comment for this people in Miami,Florida. Come on man. This is something that you have to keep in your mine when you get a load to this place. Sorry this time for me, but you will be next
Appt at noon. Door at 1:45 PM and out at 4:45 PM for 1/3 of a trailer load. Cant imagine if it was full. Park on the street and walk to guard shack to check in. They will get your number and call you. Be here early. I got in line to check in over an hour before appt and gate pass had time of 15 minutes before appt on it. Avoid at all cost. Not worth it
I had a pretty good experience here today I had never been here before but figured out real quick that you need to park in the second or third lane and just leave yourself room to pull out for when they call you. But anyway go up front and wait in line to hand them your paperwork and they will call you with a dock number. Got there at 9:30 a m for a 10 appointment and they called me at 10:05 and put me in a door. At 10:55 I was empty and driving away. The only reason for four stars was the security guard up front who is a larger black lady with crazy blonde hair LOL was kind of rude and seemed like she hated everybody and didnt want to be there. But overall a pretty decent experience
The warehouse staff was professional and courteous but the unloading process was very long.
This is a live review from C&S Wholesale grocers in Miami FL. 06/21/21. This is by far the worst place I’ve offloaded in the over 10 years of driving. Been sitting in the door (21) since 9:45am and it’s now 2:10pm reefer still running and still not offloaded. There’s no contact with anyone. You try to go in and the sign say absolutely no drivers should enter, you try to talk to security and they’ll tell you, you have to wait on the receivers to contact you. So I’m at the mercy of a receiver wether or not they want to work on a full truck load or just f... around with all the partial loads and when the shift changes someone will get to my load... Never pulling any load to this facility ever. And urge all my fellow owner operators be weary of this place.
So far so good. Appt: 0700AM. Checked in @ 0550. Waiting in line for door assignment. Security starts letting trucks in the gate @ 0515AM. Once parked, take your paperwork, P.O.# with you to the Guard House. Fill out small piece of paper they have with all of your info, Truck#, Trailer#, Your Name, Name of your company and your P. O.#. Wait in your truck for a door assignment.
Check in at 6:30am for 9am appointment. By 8:30am was already empty. Security are really nice ladies. Unloaded fast. Great job guys
The security girls at the gate are rude, lazy, incompetent, and they deliberately slow walk the drivers. If you have a noon time appointment you should probably get there at 5am that morning! And you might be out by 1 or 2 pm! They violate your God given right to breath freely over this convid hoax!! 1 star is generous for this review, if I could give it a negative 5 stars I would!! Absolutely never want to come back!
Well arrived at 3am for an 11am appointment. Perishable check in @5am Grocery at 7:30am. Drove past all kinds of trucks lining the employees entrance and came around back and got in lane 2 for trucks. Took paperwork to guard shack had to provide ID, PO#, truck/trailer#, carrier and your appointment time. I’m checked in waiting for call about door assignment at 7:37am. Now I wait….Backed in door, chocked and disconnected, left BOLs and seal in trailer at 9am. So far so good. Stated unloading me almost immediately. It’s all off my truck at 9:30 BUT getting the BOLs back is a different story… They got me within their 2 hour window. Could have been a little better. Went from 5 stars to 3 because of waiting.
Park in lane 2 or 3, walk to the guard window and check in. I waited 1-1/2 hours for a door (still docked before my appointment time), but was unloaded with paperwork in hand less than an hour later. Pretty smooth process to me. Perhaps the signage could be better located, its posted up by the front near the guards. It should be posted as you enter the lanes too.
Appointment at 7AM, it is now 11:00AM, I am still waiting to be called.When I arrived trucks were everywhere and had to wait on the street for an hour just to be able to enter the parking area.Security had to came around 3 times to send trucks away as everything was stuck and truckers leaving the property could not exit.Then you walk with the papers and get on line to do the check in 35 minutes than you go back to the truck and wait.They need to have more people doing the check in and they need to have a parking place inside the property for people to park and wait to be called.
02/26/2021 Appt time-10:00, Arrival time-09:13, in Dock-09:40, leaving the facility-12:25. Just a little over 3 hrs to unload 24 pallets, not bad, I’ve experienced a lot worse. The guards were polite to me so I’m giving this place 5 ⭐️’s. I’d have no problem delivering here again.Here’s the procedure. Pull into lanes 2 or 3 and park. Walk to guard house and sign in. Once you get dock assignment pull around other trucks via lanes 1 or 4. Go around all the trucks in line, get back into lanes 2 or 3 by guard house, pull up to yellow line and stop so guard can check seal. Head to your dock.
Sat for over three hours after I got unloaded missed my next pickup never again will I go there
If I could give a 0 I would. The slowest placeni have ever been. Backed into a door at 7am and im sitting here at 1130am still havent been touched the only truck backed in a door with icecreqm and the temp now is 32° in my trailer dont buy icecream at Winn Dixie
This place is full of ignorant arrogant losers who take their miserable existence out on you. No common sense. No common courtesy. No respect for drivers. The driver check in started demanding sensitive personal information from me. Felt like some of the staff may have had a side scam hustle. Be careful. Be strong. Stand up for your rights and dont let them bully you around. You do not need to comply with their demands to deliver. I didnt.
This place does not respect the truck driver, a garbage place, a long time waiting to unload,
Never come back. 5 pallets 7 hours
Very slow be prepared to wait all day, and unpleasant workers especially in receiving and gaurd shack
Lousy place to download they delay in everything. I do not take a load for this place anymore.
There is a line of 15 truck drivers waiting to get checked in. I have been outside, standing in line for an hour as of this review. Literally 1 hour. I drove all night to get here, I am EXHAUSTED and theres no initiative to get these people checked in.
Waaayyyy to crowded. They have a system that works though. Be prepared to be there for at least 2 or more hours. Check their reviews on the website. Other drivers will tell you exactly what to do. Theyre right!!!
Fast an good but gate needs a little help like people that want to to work an not t talk on phone an help new drivers
This place is a joke sit in a door 6 hours and counting never again stay away f! 10 hours 00000⭐⭐
Big ol warehouse.
All the bad reviews are true. I showed up 45 minutes early for my appointment, but they had a long line to check in and they still write 3 minutes late on my check in time. Took over 6 hours to unload and left 4 boxes of rejected product scattered all over my trailer. I am trying to get detention but they dont respond to brokers requests and claim it can take up to 30 days to approve a detention request.
This is the worst place I am visiting. They hold me at a dock for 5 hours. They dont want to talk to you. I had been here since 3am I it is 5pm I am still here.
Big food warehouse in metro Miami. Extremely high volume and handles it as well as can be expected.
My appointment was for 10:00 am .it’s 2:35pm and they haven’t finished yet…I call the office to check what’s going on and the person is so rude hang up on me saying I have to wait…Unbelievable!!!!🤨🤨🤨Never any more!!!
They need to get their check in’s in order and the guards need some people skulls. The man guard is very cool tho he’s the only one with ppl skills. cus they take almost an hour to ck in. Other than that I would give them 5 stars.
Very bad place. Unloading time 8 hours
C & S and win dixie is the same receiverIt is as bad as comments say. Receiving starts at 6:30 am stage in lines 2 & 3 and go to the guard check. If there is no parking in staging area park on the street and walk to the guard check, thats what I did. Arrived at 7am for 9am appointment and its 2pm and I’m still ob the dock. What a waste of a day!! You can come to the docks by door 57 and see at least if they take the product out so you don’t have to run your reefer in this hot weather.
I wish I could give 0 stars 8 hours here in a door and still nothing. How stupid do you have to be to not be able to count cases. O/O avoid at all costs.
Overnight street parking is available even though signs say no parking. Need to park on the street and walk to guard shack to check in. Took 3hrs to unload 6 pallets.
This whse be very busy no real overnight parking you can catch the curve but you better get there early you have to walk up and check in have your driver license the p.o and a pen had a 9am appt got there at 8am didnt get a door until 1030 and was at the door until 2pm 10 pallets so this I also time killing whse
I wish I could give them 0 star
Private business not open to public.
Rude as hell. You can check in for perishables is 5:30am and for non perishables it is 7:30 am. Just FYI for other drivers this does not necessarily mean you will get a door on time.
C&S is the worst driver was given door at 8am and its 4pm and still not out . Called on the numbers to reach and speak to someone but nothing . Really doesnt deserve to get any stars . Big 0
Appointment Time: 07:00Check in Time: 05:30Door Assignment: 06:28Departure Time:7:54Total Time: 2 hours 24 minutesOvernight parking outside the facility on either side of 123rd St. Check in starts at 05:30. Park in lane 2 or 3 and walk up to the guard shack with your bills of lading, applicable PO numbers, and drivers license. DO NOT WAIT IN YOUR TRUCK. No Mask, No Check in. Fill out the little form at the front of the line requesting all of the usual info. Check in with the guard. Walk back to your truck and wait to be called by receiving.Public restroom for drivers across from the guard shack
Yep. All the reviews here are correct. This place is crazy slow. Been here for over 5 hours for 7 pallets and still no end in sight.
Prepare for your funeral because you will die here. I arrived 2 hours before appointment and got parked after an hour. They had to return to kindergarten to learn how to count. I was here so long I took 3 pisses thus far. Still sitting here, have seen numerous people come after me and leave before me, all the same “demographic” of people if you catch my drift.
Its a magical place. Really slow. Really lazy. 100% unfriendly for customers
If I could leave less than one star I would. Took 6 hours for them to tell me I had to go get my reefer downloaded and then the following day it took them an additional 7 hours to refuse the load. Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable.
Really bad experience. Appointment for 10 am. Checked at 10:35 am. Still 4:00 pm and waiting to get my papers. My first and last time coming to this place. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Appt at 7am, check in at 5:30am.... 6:30 at door and 7:30 out of the gate 💪🏼
If you’re delivering, get ready to be stuck in a time warp, no one is in a hurry here, everyone is milking the clock, no worries at least the weather is great. A few more hours in Florida is not so bad. Better than Minnesota for sure .
Dont metter Worker here so lazy. Dilate the Paper work. No good for nothing.
Every assclown that lives in this county works here. They should change the name to assclown wholesale grocers. From check in to check out every person I dealt with was a assclown. The sad part about it is they know they are assclowns and they take pride in being assclowns. When someone asks them what do you do for a living they respond Im a assclown. They are so good at being assclowns they make the democrats look normal. If your not sure what a assclown is stop by C&S (assclown) wholesale grocers and see for yourself. But make sure you wear a full body condom or you may leave here a assclown. Did I mention there are a bunch of assclowns working here🤡
Always a delay here. You can never plan to do anything else on the same day as a C&S MIAMI delivery.All day long.
C&S please have a meeting with your front gate security,today Saturday Oct 24 there is a lady with the redhair and ugly eyelash shouting at drivers and no drivers cannot ask a question, simple question [Where are the sign in sheet]come on now we dont come here to quarrel with anyone but she seems to have a problem with drivers, thank u. I drive for EAS LOGISTIC
Not too bad of a place. You do want to park on the street and walk in and turn in paperwork. Otherwise it can get very crowded at the entry point. They took me a little bit early. I don’t know if that’s normal or they already know that and Shipper would charge c and s big-time detention pay if they hold me up. Didn’t wait too long before they offloaded me. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again.
These guys and women are great unload is good
One of the worst places to load and unload of so many in Miami try not to come here is pure rubbish
6 hours and still not done. They are counting orange by orange I guess.
I got to the warehouse about 2 hours before my appointment time. I received a door Im eagerly and went to the door back in and got unloaded but the person with the paperwork did not bring me my people work. I have been here for a little bit over 5 hours pass by appointment time.. Before I start driving a worked at Publix supermarket for 28 years. I think they need to go by public supermarket and watched their procedures of unloading maybe it by help them.
Checking 9:00 am green light 5:30 pm bad place to come!!!!!!!!!!👎🏽
So slow lazy people they treat you bad
Worst place to delivery
Better pick the right time to go in here..this place stays busy lol
Took a fat minute to unload then after they unload I waited 2 hours empty for paper works.
Bout as bad as it can get with unloading....I typically try to avoid here.....
Park in lane 2 or 3 walk paperwork to guardhouse. Need drivers liscence, po# and mask to check in. Leave enough space to pull in lane 1 or 4. Everyone very nice. Apt was 7am was out by 9am.
They are slow in unloading you.
Truckers AVOID !!!!!!!!! This place !!!!!!! Your whole 1400 hours clock would run out waiting on them billsEvery 3 hours they will take a pallet out of your truck be aware
They dont care about product safety, long times sitting at docks with 100 degree heat and my reefer is brand new and still struggling to keep the trailer cool..Edit: Ive been here for almost 5 hours still waiting locked to dock
7am appt 4pm still waiting for them to unload NEVER COMING BACK HERE avoid this place not worth missing youre next load!!
Wow this place takes a longest to unloading I got there 830am to 230pm The ELD ran out of time log book make sure wen you make a delivery here that your log book has time on other wise you are going to be out of time from dlp
Never again 2hr in line then 4 hours so far getting unloaded!
I got to C&S late, then fell asleep for 1 hour & 1/2 realized I didnt turn in my BOLs to be unloaded I ran in there and was almost put off till tomorrow 11/15/19 to be unloaded and this young man named Eli a forklift driver offered to immediately unload my truck. And get me out of here. This is my first time here and I had a pleasant experience. Thank you Eli at C&S. Great employees like you should be recognized & acknowledged.
Horrible place ..
Never come back here they take to long to unload and I was here on time
Arrived at 7 am to do off 20 pallets... Not saying they are slow, but now I am now I can draw social security..
Apt at 0700, checked in by 0600. Got a door at 0800, out by 0900. Nice job!Please, DO NOT worry about where you park. They make you wait on street or in lanes 2 & 3. They will call you randomely to get you into the facility and get you unloaded.Order in line does NOT matter here. Its not worth fighting anyone or blocking leaving traffic, just to move closer. Youre on a list! Earlier APT the better. Check in and take a nap!
If you come here to deliver good luck and bring food thats all im going to say
I don’t have any worlds but make sure Ovid this place every one is rude here from gard check to Receiving and for 4 pallets 5:30 am checked in now 9:51am still waiting this B S
Extremely slow . Takes forever to get your paperwork done. I came to this place years ago and it is still very slow. I am surprised this place is still in business. Some of the employees are rude and arrogant.
People here are rude, no communication at all. Appt. At 11:00 am and still here at 3:20 pm Coming here with enough fuel to waste
So far, so good. Checked me in 3 hours earlier than appointment scheduled. Backed into a door within minutes of getting back to my truck from check in. No lumper required (at least not for my load). Typical treatment for a large warehouse. Began unloading within a hour. I was expecting a horrible time here. Really wasnt bad (at least this time; )
The experience at C&S wasnt great but better than the long wait, I thought of.
6 hours to be unloaded and at the end 5:30pm I wasnt unload
Nice place. Everyone friendly til you complain about the long hours it take from appointment time to finish Dont know whats going on in receiving dry side. Refrigerator side is said to be quick.so I hear. Dry side will keep you here for hours. Dock all detention times with pictures. Complain at window doesnt help. Threaten to Fire the receiving crew and maybe they will step up their gear.....respect the appt. Times. 2 hours min....
Barnum and Baileys Circus had nothing on this place. If you are a truck driver and delivering a load here, be warned that you are in for a real treat. Be ready for clowns, games, time wasting and more.
WARNING DRIVERS STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ITS TOTALLY UNORGANIZED, RUDE GUARDS AND EMPLOYEES & TAKE FOREVER TO UNLOAD NOT TO MENTION YOU HAVE TO PARK ON THE STREET AND WALK A COUNTRY MILE TO CHECK IN I DONT CARE HOW GOOD OF A RATE U GET ITS NOT WORTH THE HASSLE YOU GOING LOSE ON THE END
Extremely rude and racist people, I got there at 12 am, they unloaded me at the next day by 2 pm, it literally took 14 hours. Seriously? They passed few drivers in front of me, just because they were different race than me by telling me that they were there before me, that was not true. 14 hours of hell, hated that place, if I could give that place 0 stars, I would!!!
(I Dont Know Bout Parking)When you pull in theres 4 lanes. Park in either of the center lanes and walk your bills to the gaurd shack on the left side. Check in and they will call you. I was 2 hours late for my appt. so if i was a work-in nobody told me. It ended up being about 7 hours before i got my bills. Im currently sitting in the cul-de-sac by the entrance because i ran out of hours. Not sure if were allowed to park here but i dont have a choice. Theres a total of 3 trucks here now so i guess well see.P.S. I HATE MIAMI !!!
Incredibly slow. More than 5 hours for 11 pallets of pasta
Do not come here!!They have the rudest employees in the world!Unloading time 7+ hours, avoid place!
A little too long to unload the trucks.
The low ratings and reviews are not exaggerated if you have to come here bring a lunch cause they take forever to give you your bills this place is like most in Miami full of rude people who only acknowledge drivers who are willing to tip them for doing their damn job eff that Im not getting a tip for delivering in this hell hole!!!! These distribution centers need to stop hiring lumper services and just hire in house so there is accountability for this nonsense.
Its a grocery store D/C. Its the same as all others. About 5 to 6 hours unload time. Pull up and get in line with all the other 50+ drivers there checking in. Its a 50/50 chance there will be no room to pull in because of all the oi there trucks waiting so you may have to park out on one of the streets and walk a mile or two to check in at gate. Bring drivers license, p.o. #, and Bills to gate to check in. They will call you when they have a door for you. Then break seal, open doors, back in door. Take Bills and gate pass to receiver door and go back and wait in truck until they call you when they are done. Only legal place to park within 100 miles after empty where you can have a good chance, 75% of getting parking is The 595 Truck stop about 13 miles away on Burris Rd. In Davie, FL. Google it to get directions. $20 a day to park there. They have showers, restaurant, bar, shop, 24/7 truck wash, fuel etc..
One star is too much for this place 2 pallets 3 hours 😡
