the rooms are about the size of a jail cell and constructed as such. You will be sleeping on a nice rubber bed
btw the hot and cold water in the showers are swapped so if you turn it all the way to hot you will get a nice cold surprise!

So I've gone to 3 grocery warehouses so far and they aren't as bad as everyone makes them out to be.. of course one of the pro's of working for central is that so far ALL MY LUMPERS HAVE BE PAID FOR
by who? the grocery warehouse, cool.. the lumpers even did the paperwork for me I just had to sign. woohoo
plus i've never been paid detention because i've never hit the 2 hr mark.
I have hear that central charges the consignee like 200 per hour for each hour past 2, this doesn't surprise me.. when i went to supervalue she took a big marker and wrote 2 hr and what my 2 hr point was in huge big letters on my bill before having me give it to the lumper, she didn't write this on the papers for the other drivers who where not there.
so far I have still not fingerprinted a load..
one load i did go back and help the stores unloader push the pallet jack over the plate thing but he did all the work..
also I was told that any lumper fees paid are charged right back to the consignee, (plus a handling fee) I think thats why most of the warehouses pay the lumper directly for you.
