Taylor Farms Salinas CA

There's a ton of terrible produce shippers in and around salinas... Then after your sit there for hours you can add another hour onto your day when you try and scale the load at the Pilot

 

Ohhh what fun! Wait 'til you actually get a door assignment and the previous driver has not even been loaded yet.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if Taylor farms only ran their own coolers.

They are branching out and running other coolers to make them "more Efficient".

 

I have not been there in almost a year and I hope I never have to go back to pick up another load of produce in California. I like it when other guys pick it all up and bring it to Washington for me. It used to take me three days to do one pick in LA and two in Salinas and go back to Washington. Now I let another sucker pick it up for me and I run it to Alaska and drive 2400mls in those three days.

 

Don't blame it on the produce house,,they do not pick the produce until a produce broker (different than the truck broker) sells the product,,Once an order comes in for a product they go pick it,,

Hauled years ago out of Salinas for years,, They hate you sitting around and will do there best to load you and get rid of you,,BLAME THE PRODUCE BROKER, THE BUYER AND YOUR TRUCK BROKER,,THEY SUCKERED YOU.

 

and my limited experience in Salinas
had the best luck at Taylor Farm

 

I have not been back to California in about a year. It's all we used to do. Same story here. 3 days making pickups.
