What clients say about Wieland Recycling in Granite City (IL)
I had a really good experience, slept here and when was 7:30 I did a check in, and they said if I want I could already taking off the tarp, at 9:00, they called me in. Super fast to unload me and people are nice here.
I arrived here at 7:30 AM. Checked in, and they told me to remove the tarp and wait for a call. My paperwork said they start at 8 AM, but the office told me that receiving starts at 9 AM. They began unloading at 9:10. Keep that in mind if you have a flatbed.
Took about 3 hours in and out. Think they forgot about me at first. Until my dispatcher called. 10 minutes later I was headed to dock. Loaded in 30 minutes. Enter gate 1.
This would have been 1 star but the dock saved it. 4 hour wait to get door and then super nice guy loading apologized and loaded me in about 10 minutes. Check in. 0 stars. Loading 5+ stars
The folks at receiving are nice, but the yard is full of nails. Pretty sure I’m not the first one that lost a tire here. This place is a damn joke, so be careful!!!!
This place is not worth it better drive emprt than bring load here had so many tires replaced beaches of this place and I just moved a few nails and screws told the guy they need to clean this he just laughed.
One of the worst places that I’ve delivered to at least 4 to 5 hours wait to unload and there are nails everywhere. Good luck drivers you’re gonna end up damaging your trailer here and tractor.
Overnight parking in front of check in office. Can’t walk up to check in, they make you drive your truck in the line even if nobody is around or in line. Check in 0700 unloading starts at 0900. In and out pretty quick with no line. Probably 45min per truck after 0900. Would be nice if not limited to a plastic frozen porta potty for us less than human truck drivers though. I get it though, punish the masses for the actions of a few.
It's a recycling center so be mindful of where you drive and don't expect 100% clean lots . Overall great experience. Checked in at 0700 and put in a dock at 0720. Unloaded by 0815.
If your delivery address is 2700 Missouri ave, make sure you check in at 3101 Missouri Ave first.
First time here. Arrived at 7:40 checked in. Was told that receiving starts at 9am. Was called at 9:05am to get on scale then back into dock 14 as previous reviews stated. This was pretty easy morning for me and it went smoothly. I was done by 10:05am. I would come here again. Perhaps some days may not go as good but that comes with trucking :)
Just terrible process of checking in and waiting to get unloaded. I checked in 8:30, now it’s 11:30 still waiting to get a dock. Now it’s 13:00 and still not unloaded. So slow! This place sucks.
The young lady at the check in office sitting to the left (from drivers point of view) has some serious attitude issues…
Not too bad place. They have overnight parking for morning deliveries. Bathroom is on the lot (porta potty). Check in opens at 7 am, but unloading starts not earlier than 9 am. Be sure that you have delivery number for check in (begins 22 or 23, 6 digits). Door assigned at 9:05, check-out at 9:55. Almost all staff is friendly.
Take the north gate and follow the fence around to check in. Pull up to stop sign then go in to the left and see the people. Make a right turn and find you a parking spot. When they call you after a while follow directions. My directions were too go through the gate to right of the staging area. Follow road around back of building and get on scale till light turns green. U-turn and go to dock fourteen. Back halfway into dock and wait for seal to be cut. Slide tandems and open doors then back in and unhook air line. Once done pull back on the scale and wait for green. Make a u-turn then go back out the way you came and pull up to stop sign by check in. They will have your bills. They do have a porta potty for us low life drivers. The guard people were nice enough the unloaded was really nice. Over all it wasn't too bad, only about two hours total.
Check in start at 7.00 AM. It was told me shipping will start at 9.00AM . Go to parking lot and we will you and let you know the docr.10.30 AM I again went in side to confirm the door. App.10.50 I got a call for the dock. Loadingguy was so quick. Load in 20 minutes. All review which I already read are true. This place is just the wastage of time.
Everything was very specific and the people were very friendly. It took about 30min to get unloaded and there was no delay at all.I just wanna say thanks to every one here.
Don't get in a hurry. I checked in at 9:30am and got a phone call about where to go to unload at 1:30 pm ended up leaving empty at 3:00 pm. The people at the check in office were nice. And the guy doing the unloaded was also nice.
You need to speak and understand English 80% minimum for this delivery location is huge need used hard hat,safety glasses and shoes Team included Kendra is very nice but with 0% English on driver is complicated explain all your job, fast unload
Avoid this warehouse at all costs. !!!! There are two people in the Guardshack. The guy was nice and understanding but the girl Kendra was very rude! She doesnt want to talk to anyone who doesnt speak proper english. Didnt want to believe the other reviews but I also felt she was racist and annoyed because my english wasnt as fluent as hers. Very unprofessional. And remember if broker says its fcfs do not believe them. They do not unload you without an appt
DO NOT deliver to this facility unless you have 4 plus hours to burn on your logs. The facility requires a delivery "appointment" but that just secures your delivery for the specified date. Upon arrival, they are FCFS---and each truck takes at least an hour or more to unload AND they take an hour lunch from 1200-1300. If you call the shipping office they just tell you they cannot determine how long it will take. Period. It is just another place that cares very little for drivers/carriers and they remain in business only because they use brokers to move their loads. No carrier would handle repeat business with this company. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS.
Avoid this place. We brought in a load from NC arrived 0530 still unloading at 0920. The load pays poorly then combined with the wait and you may as well donate your time for free.
