Eric, it is a gong show at that DC right now, they opened it in the middle of no where and cannot figure out why they cannot get good employees. To move that kind of volume I would suggest some of the big boys Bison, Trans X, Calyx and as you know the prices are ridiculous.

That facility is famous for changing delivery times also>make sure you have a demurrage provision with your customer.
 
We don't move anything into Loblaws at all. But I do move a significant amount of freight to western Canada.

Some of our core carriers to the west have added a surcharge to deliver into this location of up to 350.00 (+ any wait time, lumpers, driver assist etc.). Even had on carrier send a letter saying they will not deliver into this location at all. So, that should give you an idea of what this place is like.

Good luck.
