Associated Grocers- Freight

Warehouses
Hours: Associated Grocers - Freight is a grocery distribution warehouse in downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The process for delivery is generally described as easy. Drivers check in at the guard shack, often before their appointment time, and park in a large staging or trailer staging area to wait. Personnel at the facility, including security and office staff, are consistently noted as wonderful, nice, friendly, courteous, and easy to talk to. The facility has ample space for backing and provides portable bathrooms at the entrance. The most common and significant drawback is the extensive waiting time. Drivers frequently report waiting for many hours, often between four to eight hours or more, before being called to a door and unloaded. Unloading itself can also take a long time, from one to six hours, depending on the product. A mandatory lumper service is used for every load, with fees reported between $150 and $475, which some drivers feel is excessive. After unloading is complete, drivers must leave immediately as overnight parking is strictly prohibited. Security will instruct drivers to leave, and the nearest available parking is reportedly 9 to 13 miles away. Drivers are advised to plan accordingly and arrive with enough time to complete their required breaks before delivery.
