Giant Eagle Shipping N Receiving is a busy distribution center that offers large parking areas for trucks and overnight parking. Drivers can arrive early, as early as they wish, and check in at the guard shack on Hist Ave. The facility is known for its quick unloading, often within an hour once a door is assigned, making it a relatively fast process. The staff at the guard shack and inside the building are generally friendly and helpful, and most drivers find the directions straightforward if they follow the specific route provided, involving turning at old entrances near a steel company and following signs indicating no trucks or all trucks. The check-in process involves paying electronically for lumpers, with bills issued afterward. Drivers are advised to park on the shoulder of Hist Ave if needed and to be aware that the neighbors do not want trucks parked on their property. Although overnight parking is allowed, the unloading process can sometimes be quick to the point where drivers are asked to move before receiving their paperwork. Some drivers have experienced issues with communication, such as delayed notifications or incorrect contact information, and caution is advised around other drivers, particularly those driving for Talon, due to occasional aggressive behavior. Overall, this location is appreciated for its speed and friendly staff, but drivers should stay alert and follow the directions carefully for a smooth experience.
This was by far the fastest visit: unloaded within an hour of arriving. I didn't receive the text telling me that my bills were ready until hours later, but by that time, I already had my bills and was long gone.
