They are slow and lazy. Brokers know but say nothing. If you can, avoid this company. Good luck!

Not bad for a DC, came the night before the security told me to come next day at 5am, ( no overnight parking) he was very nice and checked if I do have an appointment, ( make sure you do have an appointment) my appointment was for 6am, checked in at 5 at the dock at 5:20, start unloading at 5:45. I guess I was so lucky only because it’s morning and they are not busy. Overnight parking by the Casino.

500 number building is horrible. My driver had an appointment at 8:00AM and he checked in at 7:30AM and it’s 5:35PM and still not unloaded. They are really rude to the drivers. Don’t pick up their load unless you like wasting your time. 0 stars.

The folks here know how to get you loaded & unloaded for the road!!! Arrived on time, had to go to 350 for check-in, was sent to dock fast, and was a super fast unload!! Bills were ready when I got the green light. Will definitely come here again while OTR!!!!

Arrived before appointment time.was immediately assigned a door.was my first stop on my load.was dropping off 14 skids there.each stop was divided by plywood and load bars.they unloaded the ENTIRE load.plywood and all thinking it was theirs.and when I advised them of their mistake they tried to make it out as someone elses fault.and it happens all the time.no big deal.they tore a few of the boxes for the next customer.very rude!

6 hours to unload a trailer with furniture floor loaded with a forklift, where we load it they take 30 minutes to load by hand with a 2 wheel dolly. This takes way too long. We wont be coming back anytime soon!!

Dont expect to get out of here quickly. If you have more than one stop on your trailer make sure that they only take their freight.

Big Lots is the worst run business I have ever seen. From the corporate level on down, there is no direction, no goals and no policies and/or procedures that are followed to ensure a joyful shopping experience for customers, or a safe environment for employees. If you go to work for this company you will be instructed to work in positions that are much higher pay rates with no compensation. You will be provided a work schedule with as little as 24 hour notice. And will be working in the atmosphere of a singles bar at the Gaylord Location.

Terrible! Driver came an hour early than his appointment time at 8:00 am, and hes been waiting for 10 hours now! Its 5:30 pm and theyre still unloading the trailer. Dont believe the broker when they say it will take 3-4 hours. Expect to stay here all day.

This place has no clue on what they are doing. Went to pick up a preloaded trailer and they put my freight on a different companies trailer. Then they tell me that they are not going to fix it today and come back tomorrow.

Review №69

To all you drivers complaining about company taking a long time to unload you. Only you can stop this your company is allowing them to do that to you. I use to work for a company that claimed they had up to 4 hrs to unload us which was bs you had to be 1 min over 5hrs to get paid detention. And you had to fight with them to pay you 12.50 for that hour smh. Now i work for a company that pays me after 1min over a hour and i usually get unloaded in less than a hour now. If not i get paid. Even at walmart. For example i got here 30 min early for a 0900 appt i left the dock at 0945. Yall need to find a company that will charge these companies and say no to these douchebag companys that use and abuse our time and money.

The slowest distribution center on earth. It literally takes them 5 hours to unload a trailer every time I come here. Some of the front desk ppl in the building are extremely rude. Moral of the story it doesnt take 5 hours to unload a 53 ft trailer.

If i could give this company zero stars i would. bought a chest of drawers and nightstand from the big lots in spring, tx on sawdust road... i got it home and found the items COMPLETELY infested with roaches! not just a few... HUNDREDS! the managers of this store (john, scott and jasper) refused to work with me on this to get it out of my home (now infested with roaches). they also outright refused to give any contact information to get in contact with the district manager. to say the least, this is one of the worst companies ive ever dealt with. i will never return to a big lots location again.

Big Lots manager Phil of store #1192 in Arlington TX quotes fake federal laws and retaliates against customers who question his statements.This manager drove out a university professor out of the store and lost a $600 sale. No wonder Big Lots loses money. Anyone who thinks of investing in it, just look at the decisions of the employees.
