About Publix Distribution and Manufacturing Facility
Publix-Atlanta Warehouse is a 24-hour receiving facility that operates by appointment only. The site offers parking on site, including staging parking available in front of docks, and drivers can do a 10-hour reset if necessary. Check-in is described as always easy in and out, with nice guards and nice receiving. The process requires an ID to receive a gate pass. Drivers note you can check in up to 12 hours early, which is helpful for overnight parking. The unloading time varies, taking about one hour for some full loads but over three hours for others, depending on what is being hauled. The facility itself is reported as clean and organized. However, the lumper service, FHI, is frequently described as slow and expensive, with staff sometimes perceived as ignorant. The receiving office opens at 7 AM, and there are two offices for different load types. Bathrooms and vending machines are available. A common complaint involves difficult phone systems and unhelpful phone staff.
