    Overall a good experience for all personnel from the guard shack to the staff. They have overnight parking and is a shame some drivers leave the place trashed when they have a dumpster right in front of them. I appreciate Sysco for having a place fur us, drivers, to park. I got unloaded earlier than my appointment and got out before it, good work! They have a sign for us to call via CB radio but I think it didn't work, so is better to park and walk to the guard shack. Required truck and trailer number and plates and driver's license.

    For those of you being here for the first time, park in staging area, write down trailer number, trailer plate and license plate number, & walk up to guard shack, as of right now the Guard sits in a trailer taking paperwork thru a window, Got here at noon for my appointment and got a door at 1:30, and got checked out at 2:30. When leaving hand your gate pass back to guard and roll on! No need to show backside of empty trailer.

    First time at this Sysco and after reading the most recent reviews, I was ready for anything! I was actually surprised by the so called “Ms. Cleo” as some put it! As long as you have the information you need for her, she is actually quite pleasant! I can see why some drivers would be upset because maybe they have to go back and forth to retrieve such info but if you have license plate # to truck and trailer, along with DOT#, you should have NO issues! You should already know your truck and trailer # and everything after that is smooth sailing! She has been working for 13 years and for good reason! Always make sure you read reviews to ANY company and it will MOST likely save you some grief as you will be ready and in the process saving you time as well!

    I made a delivery here. Everything was confirmed before I received the assignment. When I arrived here Ms. Attitude at the guard shack accepted my paperwork. 2 hours later I politely walk back to guard shack to inquire of what was going on. Ms. Attitude informed me I was NOT on the schedule at all. I became boiling mad at this point. I finally got a door and went through the process and got unloaded. When I drove to guard shack with Ms. Attitude to hand her my gate pass she was too busy on her phone. She didn't see me or other trucks because she was playing on her phone. Her excuse was "I'm sorry I didn't see you." How can a location employ someone at security more worried about the phone? My biggest problem with this location is Ms. Attitude more worried about that phone rather than the task at hand.

    Arrive at 815 for 0900 appt. Still, not in a door til after appt time, (we'll call you when a door is ready) two hours to unload, half hour for Capstone's extortion fee, more time waiting for paperwork. Therefore missing next appt. Guard did make a "little" effort to avoid being unfriendly.

    On site parking just outside of the facility is nice. You can walk up to the guard shack the night before and check in with your paperwork. They will call you in the morning with a door. The lady in the guard shack was a little rude, however, didn’t affect much. Overall took about three hours to unload. However, I had shortage on my load, so maybe that’s why I took a little long.

    After reading a lot of negative reviews, I was worried about making this dry delivery. But I was in at 6:00 and out at 10:00 which for this load is a pretty normal time. Along with no damaged product and the lumper fee wasn't too bad either. Guard shack , Cisco office, and Capstone Lumber service personnel were all friendly. Maybe changes have been made since those other reviews? But for me, it's a five-star ☆ THANKS

    Don’t work here they will over work you. Poor management that doesn’t care about you. If you do not want to be just a number and work crazy hours and underpaid for your effort don’t even try here. Especially after busy season is over in June they start looking how terminate bunch of drivers the reminder who did not quit already and the next year in January new cycle starts all over again. So don’t fall in the trap of pure evilness of Sysco corporate.

    You can be well overly qualified for the CDL A truck driver position and they still will not hire you. They will bring all the way in for a interview JUST to fake smile with you and then you don’t get it but will hire and keep guys who complain about the job being too hard lol JOKE

    Imo the best and most organized Sysco whse I've been to App 10am Check in at 7:20 Got the door at 7:45 Empty and bol's in hands at 9:15 Staging area allows overnight parking with potter potty on site. Overall the yard is clean with plenty room to back in. A lot of little things to appreciate if you no stranger delivering to places like this

    Myself, my wife and my two children were driving home from a nice Saturday family outing. While waiting at a light to make a left turn in a single turning lane, a driver for this company in his semi went around us and cut us off to turn in front of us. He almost hit us. I then turned and could not believe how this man erratically drove in and out of traffic almost hitting other people. When we stopped at another light, my wife preceded to take a picture of the information on the truck to report the gentleman when he decided to get aggressive with us because she took the picture. He "flicked" (middle finger) us off and then preceded to swerve the truck at us to the point that I had to pull off to the side of the road to avoid getting hit as well as my two children which are 5 years-old and 3 years-old where crying and terrified. This is not an exaggeration. A company that is so prestigious and well known should have a stricter policy on hiring drivers. The only reason I'm giving one star is because I have to in order to put this comment other than that it would be no stars.

    Almost 4 years ago I delivered to this place and said I'd never come back. Capstone is a horrible lumper service and this Sysco has 0 pride in there business. Trash everywhere. The same rude lady at the guard shack. If it hadn't been Thanksgiving I'd never have taken this load. Trashy establishment. Owner ops, if you have a choice pass it by. Even the large companies like Swift and Werner refuse to deliver to this place, that should tell you something. Do not take there loads, make them put effort into fixing this place. I've delivered to numerous Sysco's and this is the worst I've ever encountered.

    was kinda nervous about heading here after reading reviews of long wait times but I was actually impressed. arrived 2 hrs and 17 mins early for a live unload. they ask for your # and send you back out to the staging (waiting) area until they assign a dock to you. only waited about 10 mins. lady at the guard shack was actually pretty helpful with helping me get my metal seal off. super easy docks to back into lots of room. you have to walk into office and hand them your paperwork. they literally immediately started unloading me. paperwork did take a few extra mins but not hours like some reviews mentioned. arrived @ 9:43am and was leaving by 11:43am. not too bad

    Checked in 8 am for 10 am appointment. It is 1230 now and still waiting for the door. Ridiculous service. Please avoid this facility. Got to the door 1235 and took 5 more hours to get unloaded.

  • 5/5 Matt B. 1 year ago on Google
    Communication then learning protocols by people asking questions and communicating working together. This all happened today I got here early I was in my door about 40 minutes past my appointment time and I communicated I had a -10° load. Starting with Marie at the gate she listen to what I was saying about opening my doors before they were ready to unload my product. I had two other stops today and tomorrow. She read between the lines took the bull by the horns like making it here from the islands lol Marie is wonderful thank you. I then made my way to door five backed up with door shut went in communicated with desk he was confused he looked confused I explained it to him again do you want me to open my doors I have a -10° load and I have two other stops he thought about what he was about to tell me to do and he said yes we will call you. This happened in less than five minutes. The pictures and videos show what could happen if you open your doors too soon this should be protocol thank you Sysco Palmetto Florida appreciate you guys trying to figure it out. I am new in this industry 2 1/2 years big trucks worked on the gas and oil if people don’t communicate people can die. In this circumstances products can be lost through temperature wow I hope this is helpful. I communicated with my broker Tql who everybody bad mouths out here. I’m happy with him either but regardless we all gotta make this industry better hope this helps onto the next move lol live every day like it’s your last day and every day hero and say yes on your license to organ donation love you all I can tell I lost very little temperature with the humidity in Florida it messes with the Reefer’s are here and N experiencing I will let you know later with a time and date what’s the temperature is and how much time when I left the shipper receiver

    Delivering to sysco is pain. They don't even get you in by your appt time. There is always a line to the gate during the day. the gate employees don't care. This is one of the worst places to pick up from or deliver to in florida. Drivers beware ! The gate attendant has an attitude. Which i checked the comments on the reviews in Google and it's apparent that sysco dont care about drivers feedback about the attendant. The staging area is trashed

  • 1/5 Scott N. 1 year ago on Google
    If could give half star i would 5 hours to unload a half truck. Capstone is the worst lumper service in country. Only good thing about this place is it does have a staging area.

  • 1/5 Sami G. 1 year ago on Google
    Too slow my app at 10 am now 1:04 still here Capstones is the worst labor company on the USA

  • 1/5 Jorge A. 1 year ago on Google
    Would not recommend bringing a load here. I didn’t receive a door until an hour and a half past my appointment time (that was 5 and a half hours ago) lumper fee already paid for an hour ago. Still waiting on my BOL to get out of here no telling how much longer either. lost a load and my patience. If you’re independent like me negotiate a good detention time pay after 2 hours it will probably pay more than these sorry loads.

  • 1/5 Adib C. 1 year ago on Google
    What a bunch of incompetence here. Set an appointment for 10 am. Giving a door at 11.30. Take 1 hour to unload your trailer and infinite hours to count and bring the papers to the receiving office. Idk if they think I just done working for today for just bringing their load. I have to still working MFs and I’m late because your incompetence

  • 1/5 Simon W. 11 months ago on Google
    Very bad experience with them. If you see them as shippers or receivers on your rate confirmation do not book that load. They will take 12 hours to load you and then another couple of hours to make you wait for the paperwork they are just waste of time

  • 3/5 JJ J. 6 months ago on Google
    Truck entrance is very difficult to find. They only put the sign on one side of the road so if you are coming from the other side you won’t see it. If you don’t see the truck entrance sign it means you are coming from the other side so go back to the highway and find a way to come back to the other side of the street then you’ll see the sign. If management reads reviews they should see this and put up another sign for truck entrance on the other side of the road. Be careful there’s one truck entrance for Sysco only and there’s another for all truck. Pay attention as the truck entrance is very hard to find because they didn’t put enough signs to help truckers. The staging area is big but also not organized, no proper signs for in and out so truck are confused & parked funny. They need to put a big sign for IN & OUT so there’s no confusion. Strictly by appointment time but the unloading was quick, restroom was available, backing was very easy. They would’ve got a 5 star if not for the adequate signs they did not put up. If I ever come back and more signs are up I’ll update my review to a 5 star.

  • 1/5 Q R. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could give .5 of a star I would. Check in was fine waited for 45min. Got to a door had 1 pallet its 3 in a half hours later waiting on flipping paper work to leave!!!! Couple of ppl were nice others were ehh and unprofessionally SLOW!!!! YOU WILL WAIT OVER AN HOUR FOR PAPERWORK TO LEAVE. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!! 1 plt shouldn't take 2hours of paper work. Would not recommend as this was my first delivery and an horrible experience. Keep it moving!!!

  • 2/5 DALE R. 5 months ago on Google
    The previous reviews where correct, out house is filthy ,and the seat is still broken. The guard has the personality of a Tasmanian devel, nothing kind to say, and what's with the nasty tone and dirty looks? I sure don't e joy dealing with people like this, and as far as sysco taking care of these problems according to all the other reviews I say bull . Because everything is still as other drivers posted long before I did. Overall not a good place

  • 5/5 H b. 6 months ago on Google
    They deserve all 5star rating in here. The guard was super nice and polite. Great attitude at the reciever window. My appointment was at 8am I came a day before cuz I saw overnight parking on the reviews. Checked in night before my appointment and gave me a door at 5:45 finished unloading at 6:45. Thank you guy.

  • 2/5 Brita N. 1 year ago on Google
    Checked in 7:30am for my 9M app. Was put in door at 9:38am. I usually unload my own freight, but I thought since it's so late already and all my next customers are waiting, I would hire their lumper service to be faster maybe. I'm kicking myself ever since. An hour later they haven't even start3d and I was told that it's gonna be a while. Easy to back in, but filthy staging are.
