They dont take long about putting you at a door. But take forever to unload. I been here since 1am. Its 7am and Im still here! They literally unload one pallet at a time.. At least I got some rest. Make sure you have some food cause you going to be here for awhile.

My husband and I got here for our delivery at 900pm. Our appointment was at 1000pm. We got in and out without a problem. By midnight we were gone. Sterling from Capstone Logistics was very professional and courteous!!! Thank you for your hard work!!

Heres why its OK they unloaded me in 45 minutes however that was 3 hours after my appointment time. If they would only honor their appointments this would be a 5 star facility and the best AWG in the network.

No overnight parking for the weary driver that just busted his butt all day to get there, then be robbed (take care of your own utility bill [lumpers] people), then be kicked out like a stinking bum at the White House door.They have plenty of room that they could easily make into truck parking, but theyre so evil, they wont do so (because they must think its funny [theres no other reason] to watch truckers fall asleep at the wheel and kill innocent people).What a bunch of sick and disturbed P.O.S.s.

Got there a bit too early, you will not be able to check in until 16:00 but they have on site parking for deliveries and will call you when dock is available, friendly staff and guard shack employees. Was a quick unload when in dock. Would come again.

Had app for 12am Checked in @ 11:15pm Was in a door by 11:30pm. Finally got released @ 7:30am. 8 hrs to get unloaded + 329.00 & I didnt get paid a dime to set there all night. Now whats wrong with this picture? Im giving it one 🌟 because I have to!!!!

Not bad, security is nice. Receiving is nice. Once you pull in write down your phone number and trailer number on the bottom of your Bills. Then pull over in the dirt lot to the right to park and wait for them to call you. There is absolutely no overnight parking. But you can come early if youre delivering. But once youre empty gotta go. Once you get a phone call head to your door. Reefers are in the back past the dry vans. Theres enough room to do a straight line back barely if you setup correctly. Open doors, hit the dock and chock wheels. No need for a safety vest or key card or anything like that. The check in door is between the trailers up some stairs. Keep straight and go around to the window to check in. Then give your paperwork around the back of the check in office to the lumper. (They are very nice too) then head back to your truck and wait for them to finish. Had a pleasant experience here.

Slow loading and even slower unloading, very slow, waste of time - note to self - read reviews before booking a load. Nice people overall but just a slow process. Think they take too many breaks.Nice break room. Bathroom wasnt too clean, barely maintained. Also seems like most people that work here dont wash their hands after using the facilities.Cant stay on property after loading/unloading. So make sure you charge $$$$ properly for loads coming or going out of here. 4 - 7 hours looks like the average talking to a few.

The 1 star is for being able to go there early and park but you gotta leave when empty . But other than that it is usually takes 7hrs to unload so be prepared...all the 4 and 5 star reviews you see are fake news

Review №33

This was not to bad. It is different for everyone but I was in at 2:30 for a 3 am delivery and was done at 5:15. You have to know at these food warehouses, it will not likely be quick but this location has been consistently better than a lot of their other locations. I do not see why so many complain about the lumper fees they charge when you are not paying it anyway. Instead complain about the rates so instead of moving this freight for next to nothing, we can get the share we are due.

I live in Calgary, and was travelling through McBride last weekend. I needed to grab a few groceries to make dinner when I got home, and we decided to stop at AG Foods in McBride so we could stretch our legs. VERY IMPRESSED!! The produce and meat was fresh and great quality, and the buns tasted like they were fresh baked at home. I usually buy extra lean burger, but there was only lean burger so I bought a package of that. I honestly drained off less fat than I usually have to drain off of the extra lean prepackaged burger I buy at home. The staff was so friendly and helpful... THANK YOU for the great shopping experience :)

I dont know what is happening with drivers... 3, 4 even 5 stars when in this place hates drivers, they prefer spend money and time letting you know that you are a piece of truck, a merchandise... no matter your driving time or if youre tired or sleepy... get out of here ... dog... where are we going to find a place to park early morning in this hell??Its not about rights, just humanity.... is this the way to adore God... you owners... should be grateful for our hard work...extremists with their demands but not with their work, appointment for 12:45 and it is 6:00 and still waiting

Review №47

Its truly pathetic how Associated Grocers treat common carriers. As long as you have their product they ordered on your truck for welcome to stay on their property. But, the minute that they release you, get the **** off our property, your not welcome here anymore. They dont care if your fatigued or out of hrs.

Review №54

This is a review for the distribution warehouse. Not the retail stores.Horrible experience! Have delivered here twice in the last 2 months. They use a third party to handle receiving, Capstone Logistics. They charge driver/carrier to unload the product (lumper fees) $149 for one and $379 for the other. 5 to 6 hours to unload the truck both times. They do not allow trucks to remain on the property after the unloading is complete. Even if you run out of DOT hours. I do not recommend accepting loads going here unless you arrive with at least 8 hours available so that you can make it to a safe haven after they unload you. The Capstone ladies that run the office are nice and respectful. Just not in a hurry to get the load done. The gate officers on the otherhand are not as friendly.Associated Grocers nor Capstone care one bit about your hours of service or the fact time spent sitting can cost hundreds of dollars of lost revenue.

Review №55

Write your trailer number, phone number, company name on paperwork. Hand the guard your paperwork and you drivers license. She will tel you to park to the right and wait for call. I didnt even get parked. Parked in dock took paperwork to door 49. Checked in and to the lumper Back to the truck to sleep while waiting. They will call with lumper amount.

Why is everyone fretting about being kicked off property after being unloaded? All you have to do is delay until you’re ready to leave by having “difficulty” in getting your lumper fee express codes. Simple as that. No receiver will kick you off property without being paid first.

Regardless of what they say on the phone, dont check in until 2 hours before your appointment time because thats the soonest theyll take you. I was told on the phone that I could arrive and unload at 6pm. But when I got to the gate I was told the earliest I would get called was 10pm for a midnight appointment.

No matter which one you go to its going to take three to ten hours to get unloaded and they treat you like a no good truck driver at everyone. And they are barely capable of unloading a truck. Every single one of them have a smokeing area just outside the drivers enterance. Stinks like a sewer put it by the main enterance so you owners can smell it. We drivers are keeping America alive and get the dirty end of the stick. Especially at associated grocers. You suck.

Review №87

Really humid (though, thats not ags fault) pretty easy in and out. Check in with guard on the way in, if early (i was about 5 hrs early), guard will probably park you and call you when door is ready, she tells you door when she (was a woman in my experience) calls. Anyway, back in door and then take paperwork and seal to door 49, and talk to lumper, they call you when unloaded and you have to leave, no matter what. That kind of sucks...
