Dont be in a hurry. 10am appt, I was here on time, it's now 1:30pm and here I still sit.
Worst place to deliver ever I have been at the dock for six hours waiting for receivers to break down for pallets of merchandise I will not deliver or haul any load for Publix again
I would like to know if the CEO of publix and his management group want to have quality and fresh products in their stores because I think it is impossible when I have 4 hours with the doors open of my reefer trailer waiting to unload and I have already informed to everyone about the situation and nothing happened is like they don't care, keep away from this place the unloading is very very slow I check in at 7:00 am by appointment at 9:30 am I have been at the door for 4 hours and waiting, I believe that all lazy people of Jacksonville fl are here, good luck
Arrived 7 hrs early. Was able to park on their lot. 2.5 hrs after appointment time I was leaving.
1skid 3 hours Bring a load to Publix, became Prisoner of Publix
After reading the reviews I have to admit that I was lucky. 1 h to get out 19 pallets . The docks are kinda tight to back in because of the other trucks sitting in front . If you have an early morning delivery it's crazy what's going on there .... Full of trucks (OTR) moving here and there , backing up sitting , you name it. Last thing .The truck next to me left early too
PUBLIX WHERE SHOPPING IS A PLEASURE BUT DELIVERY IS A FRIGGING HEADACHE LAZY AZZ LUMPERS SPEND MORE TIME IN THE PARKING LOT GOOFING OFF THAN WIRKING
Dirty warehouse! Employees took break more then they worked! Took over 4 hours to unload 10 pallets!! Worst I have ever seen!! No wonder the stores are so expensive!
Nine hours and still not unloaded will never come here again
Will be sitting here for a long time.. Don't use main gate it closed off must turn around go south of gate to the first red light make a left go over rail road track then a left again take that road to end.. You will go pass a school. So watch for kids
Never met in my 15years trucking a check in security guy at night , as this man in this place .... middle age white guy ....very friendly and welcoming , great attitude...wish public distributions center train those guys in Atlanta how to treat driver ...bring them here and let that man at night shift train them
7am appt,now its 12:17 and still didn't start unloading.worst place ever
Took 3 1/2 hours just to get a door. Would have given 0 but won't let me. The worst publics I have been too.
8 hours to download that disrespect until when we continue to waste time in such a way ... to make an appointment if they do not respect it .. they stole a cane to hold the load
Depends on the workers there sometimes they send me the eight different doors to try picking up a load and other days I can go to one door and they will have my paperwork so I can get out of there
Only thing good about this place is that they are so slow. I was able to take a whole 10 hour break from the time I got here until now. Arrived 2 am appt 7a checked in at 5:10 they called me at 7:43 it took me 30 min to dock because of other drivers in & out and green light at 11:20. And after paying lumper fees 12:05 I m ready to leave this place.
Slower than cold syrup. Receivers are rude as hell. Just like every other Publix distribution center. It should NEVER take 7+ hours to unload a trailer.
Arrived 3 hours early. They gave me a door within 1 hour. Finished unloading in 2 hours. You can park on property.
Delivered a load at 0545 and was immediately assigned a dock. They started unloading me within 15 minutes of turning in the BOL to Receiving. I was out of there at 0730 (outstanding time for a food place). The ONLY negative is, backing can be rather tight. Get out and help your fellow drivers as I did and do everytime I'm at a place with a short backing area.
Very awful service. The "managers" are very rude and inconsiderate. The customer is always right, publix you really need to work on this. Especially your black female manager with dreads. She was a nightmare, awful, rude and very inconsiderate. It was clear that none of them value their jobs. I have to look at contacting someone hire up the chain. That's the only way things probably will change.
More than 5 hours to download incredible, I use dry van, load does not reach 30,000 pounds, incredible all these DC are a ******
2 star only for overnight parking. Basically u can park at midnight, but still. I was here twice, first time took 6h unloading me, because they have to check every pallet, and I was half of trailer. Second time I was almost empty, and they took 3h. Too slow if u ask me.
I don't understand why the managers of this particular property/warehouse insist on jamming all inbound trucks into one tiny little area. You want you're freight on time every time which can be a miserable chore in itself...but then once we're on the property you give us the bare minimum amount of space to stage and then dock up. There's so much wasted space on this property which random trailers it makes docking up a real nightmare for us. Why? Why can't you give us inbound carriers the respect we deserve and give us some freakin space to not hit other vehicles.
This Warehouse treats the Independent Drivers with great disrespect. They try to get the Independent Drivers to use their lumpers apparently to unload the trucks. If you want to unload the trailer yourself because you cannot afford a lumper, the warehouse at Publix will cause you delays because they're not charged for any delays they cause for you. May God have mercy on Publix owners. But I cannot shop somewhere that treats people that visit their warehouses so bad. I will not let my family shop at Publix either. If I have to shop somewhere that treats drivers badly oh, I might as well shop at Walmart. I don't think Walmart treats Independent Drivers as bad as Publix Warehouse. I have heard that C&S Wholesale treats their drivers that visit their pretty bad but I don't know if that's true.
It was another day, routine mostly live unload (lunld).
Slow ass place that's all I gotta say very slow missed my pick up cause there so slow here
Slow unloading. 5+ hours.
Slow as death here,waiting five hours for them to unload and looks to be a long night.
If the dead rose in china and walked here. That would be a shorter amount of time than them unloading you.
Not very helpful if unloading yourself and too slow and costly to have them unload.
Very Friendly security guard and received lady... they were so professional and understanding,overnight after 20:00 ... CFI
They have over night parking after midnight...but they're slow at unloading ur load...
8 hrs waiting to be unloaded no food won't let you go get anything
My appt was at 0400, only had three pallets to deliver, $30.00 lumper fee and out by 0530. Folk's at the gaurd shack were very nice (entrance and exit)and employees in frozen department were just as respectful.
Super fast unloading , clean restroom and cool overnight parking
The people here are nice and easy to get along with. Only 3 stars because I got a door at 0530 and they didn't start unloading until 0930...what a waste of reefer fuel.
Great place to deliver quick unload I even overslept for check in still got right on my load super quick the guard was very nice but you know not to test her.
I was lucky for my delivery... Arrived 2 hours early on a Saturday night and was given a door right away... Got in and out in less than 1 hour...
The worst place to unload a lousy truck is disrespectful of this place 5 hours and more to unload a truck and workers have a bad attitude fatal place
Rude people, when you call it gets tossed around person to person and you can't reach anyone, Publix might fool some people but it is a garbage company, it's like all managers and executives, HR, and Todd Jones all got labotomies before working at publix.
These three star represents that this public warehouse is three Times slow, lazy ,rude unprofessional, no customer skills, no public relations skill, they can find better workers at a labor pool I'll never ever deliver, neither nor pick up here again.....
Nice security got there at 515 am straight into a door out within 2 hours!
Extremely friendly and professional personnel. From the gate to the dock. Unloading times are rather decent. Biggest issue is the dropped trailers sitting broadside across from the docks. It causes issues and will be the cause of unnecessary damage due to lack of room to maneuver into the dock doors. Especially when there are trucks already in some of the doors.
So unprofessional. Half of crew riding around with no shirt on. And no big hurry to check drivers in. More worried about getting their speakers shrink-wrapped on forklifts and blearing music.
Make sure you also check for your load bars and brooms. They took ours and never put it back in our trailer. Hubby just went back in to recover it stealing mf. Your slow and you like to steal! We was here at 6am for a 6:30 appt and it's now noon.
I have always hated delivering to Publix. They slow and they rude
Hour and 15 minutes unload And everyone that was here that came in at about same time everyone is done so they don't play here
Everything is good here also overnight parking and nice people from the gate to the receiving
Fast delivery, this place is always organized and the staff is professional.
I have made 2 deliveries to this place.. both experiences have not been good. The unload time isn t too bad but almost 2 hours to get my paperwork is ridiculous.. and that s on a half load! When I asked what was taking so long o got a shoulder shrug.. it should not be ok to ti this to any driver . We have other appointments to keep , ELD requirements to abide by
They offer overnight parking after midnight. Receiving starts 5 am, checked in then, and got unloaded and out by 7:10 am.. very professional and nice person there..
Quick and easy check in. Nice Guards one was a UGA fan, go dawgs! 0600 appointment, finished at 0715. That's super quick compared to places like Walmart or Dollar General!
Overall it's fun, clean, nice people. But it takes a long time to unload and collect documents. Sometimes even more than 4 hours.
Two speeds at this place slow and reverse stay away
My appointment 7 o'clock and now 3 o'clock and I'm still here.. Too slow and place . Never come here . You come here you waste your time ..
Much of the delay do not take into consideration the truck drivers, the lady of the chekin has treated me very badly, it must be because I speak very little English and sometimes I do not understand her.
