Not to bad chicago 1 1/2 hrs loading keep it up Chicago!
Rude people appear nice but bad intentions lazy
Not too bad of a spot to load. Took about 4 hours but that’s nothing to spit at when most Pepsi place take way longer.
Expect at least 4hr here for live load. Checked in at 8:30 am and 3hr later they started loading me. I got the load because i was close for Pu and ratecon said 43,500 on weight and i end up with 45,500.
Easy to reach there from I-90/94, if you’re driving northbound take exit 57 and proceed to 51st St, then turn left and all the way westbound through the “tunnel”. If you are driving southbound take exit 56B to 47th St and proceed to 51st St, and so on. Stop by guard shack and follow their instructions. I had early morning deliveries and they every time held me up for 2-2,5 hours. Overnight parking is possible in the back yard, just notify security about that.
Love Mountain Dew Zero Sugar!
Its OK, got there early, no other trucks in the docks but they made me wait till 30 minutes after my appointment time before they unloaded me. 😟
Sat here for 1 hour 35 minutes and still had no dock assignment. Ended up leaving for a different load.
This f...k place don’t even think about booking load from them they don’t care they’ll take care your when they have free time for you they don’t even deserve one star
Slow. Super slow. Slowest in the city. Expect at least 2-3 hours to load
Not unloading no communication no appointments time care,appointment time on 3.12 2021 at 2.00 am show up at 3.11.2021 at 10.30 pm receiving clerk cut off seal but not willing to sign the BOL for drop trailer he said then you come to pick up trailer he will sign .he said wait till he call you .At 4 am I went to ask when gonna unload and dock for unloading called them twice and sleepy sleepy said dock 5 lumpers also sleeping never ever again coming to this facility again beware. .
I arrived @1300 here...it is now 2235..i was told upon arrival there was a 5hr wait to load. Normally I would have found a different load, however the total length of haul is 250 mile so the detention time us making up for the shortage in millage.THIS PLACE I WOULD AVOID AT ALL COST!!
They are not unloaded earlier than the appointed time
First time here as a driver and everything about this place is unprofessional. Appt time is 1pm now going on 6pm and still havent been loaded yet. They dont answer calls thinking about dropping this load for another. Future drivers stay away from here rude and lazy staff here at Pepsi co
Fast unload but lazy mans.
Quick in / out. from I90/94 xt 47th and go south on wentworth to 51st and go west to driveway. only truck route that works
They allow drivers to be walk ins on Saturday mornings.Everyone was polite, courteous, and very helpful
I have never seen a more inept bunch of people! Sat for 5 hours waiting to unload! I wonder what this place would do if it had good management? Dont book a load thinking your going to get in and out of here quick
It does take significant time to get unloaded. However I stayed overnight across the street and by the security guard no one was going to bother me. Checked in early morning, way before my appointment and I got door 2 hours later and hopefully will get empty before appt time.
Arrived at 11:45 PM for next day 8 am appointment. Lady at guard shack greeted professionally and allowed to stay overnight. Got call at 6 am & was out by 7. Reciving staff was also nice, no attitude. Keep up the good work
Avoid this place .... worst customer service!! will loose a lot of time!!!!
Had a delivery to this location for a 6AM appointment that came out of state. Showed up on time to check in. Got inside and handed them the paperwork to get started. Was told ill receive a call shortly for a dock to get assigned. Waited an hour to get a call and nothing. Tried to go to shipping/receiving but no one was answering. Went back half an hour later and got inside to talk to someone about getting unloaded. Spoke with someone and this guy tried to tell me that its a part of the business to wait for getting unloaded. That part I can understand when a place is busy and no docks are available. But there were 3 open docks that no one was in and somehow I was told those werent for drivers for unloading. Then he told me to be calm when I said I dont got time and I showed up as requested per appointment. 2 hours is the time that every shipper and receiver gets to unload/load drivers. The ELD was ticking and I had to go for my next pickup. Before leaving the building I mentioned that this is unbelievable and he started to talk back to me asking how is it unbelievable. Before walking out I said, an appointment is an appointment that is set to be met. That is the part of this business, meeting set appointments. I showed up on the time that the broker had setup with Pepsi for the load to get delivered. Definitely dont waste your time with this place because you can spend who knows how long before youll be out of there.
Avoid this place at all cost. 3pm appt time got here at 2pm its now 5pm no door yet and the staff are disrespectful and dont care. Act like I have no business inquiring as to whats going on. Its been the same everytime Ive been here!!!
The guards were nice as was the staff. It’s a park and wait kinda place. You get to a door in a decent amount of time. It wasn’t the fastest but I wasn’t there for half a day. Watch the entrance and swing wide.
Worst place !!! worst customer service!!! we do what we want
One of the worst place. Check in at 8.30 am apt 9.00am now its 2.30 pm they not even start to unload. Owners avoid this place!!!
Company drivers don’t have much choice but Owners avoid this place!!!!
I had read a lot of bad reviews about this place last night and I was convinced that I was going to hate being unloaded here. My appointment was set for 9am. I arrived around 7:30am this morning and the young woman at the gate was so friendly and courteous to me and was eager to get me to my dock. I checked in with recieving issued me a door very quickly they had me unloaded and on my way by 8:30am. Great job Pepsi employees!!!
Normal PepsiCo 1 to 2 hour load or unload time from your appointment friendly staff
Many Low bridges around this area .. make sure you have right directions or a good updated trucker GPS.. friendly people
The Joy of Pepsi!!! I am a man of simple tastes. I do not drink any alcoholic beverages smoke tobacco products use recreational drugs of any kind and find places like Starbucks a waste of money and more importantly time. God bless all of you that use the before mentioned items who am I to judge. But Pepsi has earned five stars because they especially the rank and file employees work toil and dedicate so much of their lives to produce load deliver and stock tremendous refreshing soft drinks that provide me great joy and satisfaction. God bless all of you. Attend!!!!!
My appointment was 12:00,I came 11:00 and 12:10 I was DONE!!
In the middle of the south side of Chicago, surrounded by low bridges, I arrive early for my appointment, as I knew I would be out of hours by time my appointment time... 12 midnight, I picked up at a noon appointment. I was told that I wasnt going to be let in, and I had to wait for my appointment time. I was instructed to an empty lot across the street that had 2 foot of snow, with absolutely no tire tracks in it since before the snow storm. I was not going to take that chance. I parked on the street instead to wait for midnight.I pull in, and the security guard gives me a look asking me why I am back. After taking my paperwork, she tells me that I have to get receiving to make me a copy, as her printer is out of ink, then gives me a map to tell me where to go. Its not rocket science. I can read.I get back to receiving to find a warehouse that is at a stand still. A sign on the desk reads receiving is delayed.The gentleman at the receiving desk is friendly enough, so I explain that I cant drive until at least 4 to take his time. I will not complain.Since this review is being posted before I actually get unloaded, I cant contest to the unload times.
They don’t care the drivers
Gonna be here for a minute, prepare accordingly. If you’re coming west exit Garfield (55th), go straight off ramp to 51st, turn left the gate will be on your right after the viaducts. Coming east exit 47th, go straight to 51st, turn right
Great staff friendly and professional
Best workers. They helped me with my broken load. Good bless you!
After of 8 hours waiting for my load, they told me that someone took it already by mistake !! Horrible !
They do not care about your appointment time. Even if you arrived before or on time they will give you a door and start loading after 2 hrs you have been there. Usually average loading time is between 3,5 to 4,5 hrs. In the end they will refuse to put in&out times for detention and provide their names. Without it you are screwed because broker will ask you for controlled sheet or at least persons first and last name who refused to sigh the paperwork. Make sure you or your dispatch calls them and speak with the manager otherwise they will act like they dont see you. Overall not pleasant experience here, long wait and rude people.
Will not go back took 5 hrs to unload bad place to deliver too
Lazy people, dont waste your time
Horrible service,waiting to unload me in door 3h even don’t touch freight.. Going inside to ask for reasons tell me don’t speak with drivers
Really like making my delveries at this location thank u guys
Very nice ppl who work there.
Slow 🐌 🦥 arrived at 9:10 am got door 🚪 at 10:30am got done unloaded at 1300 slow 🐌
Avoid this place no one said after 12pm they won’t take the load so I get here after 12pm know They won’t unload me

Waited a long time just to get dock number to pick up my load

Worst place ever, you will feel like you are disturbing them.the guard is good bt The guys in there 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️.they are rude and unqualified, on whatever they thing they do there, wont take you b4 appointment time, and when you check back @ your appointment, they take your phone #, tell you they gonna call you when they get a door . It will take onother four to 5 hrs b4 they give you a wrong dock aftr rechecking and then tell you to change to onother after 30 minutes. I had to go recheck twice again man .
Got here 1130 for 1200 appt got told the call me when the get a dock take a couple hr okay 2 he later I called and they said well call u when were ready and hung up on me okay so here it 4hr later no call no dock no nothing so I would say dont book anything going to here...
-Company seems to be ok, easy access, big lot, lots of space.- unloading times horrible. Got a door 7 hours after arrival(4hours after appointment time)
The facility in Chicago on 51st ST, Rocks the staff are very efficient with what they do BUTThe one in st. Louis,MO is the inverse ofChicago.
Totally agree with Edo and Andrii... slow, lazy, no words. Its been already 4 hours now and still waiting. Also, the lady at guard check, needs to work when shes on duty instead of staring at her phone.Ps I just saw that they were loading with pallet jack OMG
This place definitely needs new manager. Been here for 4 hours and still loaded. Arrived on time. Beware
Very good place. Quick and so friendly guys work there :))
Workers here are lazy to talk, lazy to walk, lazy to drive those forklifts, even turtle moves at faster pace than everything here. It takes entire day to unload...
Verry slow and rude people at receiving...askind after 2 hours of waiting for a door what’s going on ?? Answer go in your truck will call you if you speek to mach will whaig 3 more 😤😤😤
I WISH I CAN GIVE -5 STARS. MY APOITMENT WAS SET FOR 1 PM. I ARRIVED HERE AT 12:15. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 2 HOURS TO GET DOCK. THE UGLY LITTLE BLACK DUDE THAT CHECKS YOU IN IS SO RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL THAT I DONT HAVE WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. NOW IT IS 2:45 AND STILL I AM NOT BEING LOADED. I JUST WANT TO LET UPER MENAGMENT KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT WAY TO TREAT DRIVERS BECAUSE YOU HAVE LAZY EMPLOYEES. SHAME ON YOU. PEPSI IS BIG COMPANY AND THE WAY YOU OPERATE IS BELOW EXPECTATIONS.
They re so slow lazy people who dont care about drivers never come to this place please avoid 1st pepsi products re poor drink
Stole my load locks
You can’t go wrong with having a Pepsi company
Quik load time once in awhile. Park as long as you need.
Great place to work. Wonderful 3rd shift crew!!! 💰 💰
They are pos ppl. Lazy to walk,talk,live...work? Forget it.
Worst ever place for truck drivers to pickup or delivery. Rude and ignorant stuff as well as a really long time to get you loaded or unload.
They are really good at taking there sweet ass time to load up. Avoid this place
Very very very slow ive been here 3hrs and still not in a door. And it looks like it takes at least 3 hrs to get loaded. Im gona have to overnight here they said it was ok. When I go in everyone is just standing around its ridiculous . Very bad management I guess.
1 hour load. Overnight parking 👍
Never deliver there.Very rude and lazy staf.Spent hours at a dock waiting for unloading.
Very long waiting-) truck drivers be aware
Typical 2 hour loading time.No overnight parking easy parking spaces
Iff you want to be disrespected and lose you nervs and hate trucking then you have to come here the crew is zero acting like the own the place .
This is tragedy company
I cant even give them 1 star. this place is a joke 1 pm apt 3.30 pm still sitting and waiting to get unloaded. called receiving they said call back in 30 min maybe then tell me when they will start. What a lazy people. never again
The worst place in the country, horrible to deliver to, 6 hrs to unload a truck is not normal, but when you see these lazy guys here, that are just careless as they can be, then you know it is possible. Shame on you Pepsi you dont respect my time I will never bring you load again....shameful discusting place
Long wait time and Very rude people except the guard check!
No matter where the location is at, Ive never spent less than 3 hrs at a PepsiCo.
Avoid this place if you canVery slowBad atatudeBad manegment
I have been here 3 times. Each time it took 5-7 hours to get unloaded.
Very bad place. Came at 12 pm, got loaded at 5pm
Picked up a load of mountain dew and did not notice there are no airbags to keep the load from shifting,ended up with ashifted load and lost a day or maybe 2 we will see tommorow.If you pick up a load like this without airbags you better reject it bcos it will cost you a lot of time and hassle.
Very slow, it takes a lot of time to get loaded here. Try to avoid this place!
They let me in early and was done within two hours
Receiving by apt only, will not take early, never! And might take more that usual to unload, nobody answers phones either
6h to get unloaded, had a load of empty plastic bottles, if u don’t want to lose your time and to lose the load that u already booked then don’t come here, they don’t care about your appointment time
Checked in 10 45, unloaded 12 38. 22 pallets.
Slow unloading
3 hrs to get loaded
Not a good place for a truck driver
It sucks having to sit there over 5 hours to get loaded the whole cheap freight but what do you do when you have a cheap broker
Deliver empty plastic bottles20 min done
Bad experienceMore than 4 hours, still waiting to unload
Too long to unload, been here before it takes 3-5 hours
If you are a truck driver dont come to this place
To lazyUnion, f.... union
