I'm a truck driver who has to deliver the suppliers freight to the HD's in the Chicago metro area and I'll tell ya, they are the worst. If my appt. for the 1 or 2 skids of freight is at 1400, They will only take it at 1400.

The reason for that is that there is only so much room in recieving, and there are only a given amount of people working frieght at night to put it on the floor. Just having 1 truck come in a day (or even hours) late makes a disaster for the freight crew, who all of a sudden have to make 150 pallets vanish in an 8 hour shift, instead of the usual 80.

Poor planning. As I said, Menards and Lowes don't have those problems.
