I know someone is going to say different, and maybe some carriers have worked out deals to get their trucks in and out, but generally the mega carriers don't care how long you sit....they're not paying you for your sitting time....so who cares. On the other hand...if you can find one that will pay you detention automatically....who cares how long you sit?
Generally speaking the "suck" factor at food warehouses is off the chart!
