Geodis Red Bull

Facility info

WAIT TIMES Consistently 5-16+ hours from check-in to departure. Most common: 6-10 hours. Appointment times not respected. Early arrival doesn't help. Expect to wait hours just to get assigned a dock door, then more hours for actual loading, then more hours for paperwork. CHECK-IN & APPOINTMENT Can check in 30 minutes early, but won't get a door until closer to appointment time or later. Some reports of being turned away for checking in too early. Security at gate is generally polite but inconsistent communication between gate and dock. LIVE LOAD OPERATIONS Live load only. No drop and hook. Must stay inside warehouse during unloading — extremely hot (110°F+ reported). Driver assistance sometimes expected/pressured for unloading tasks despite facility having employees. DOCK PROCESS Long waits between each step: wait for door assignment, wait at dock, wait after loading for red light, wait for paperwork, wait at exit. Tight backing conditions getting into facility and dock doors. PARKING No overnight parking. Street parking available but tight. Lot congestion reported. Parking lot in poor condition with safety concerns. FACILITY CONDITIONS Small, cramped facility. Warehouse interior extremely hot during operation. One clean restroom inside (not portapotty). No vending machines or drinking fountain reported. Poor yard condition and lighting at night. STAFF & ATTITUDE Mixed. Gate/security staff generally described as nice but office staff reported as rude, unprofessional, on phones, unhelpful. Some reports of unnecessary requirements (fingerprints, ID copies, photo ID verification). One specific office employee mentioned multiple times for poor attitude. PAPERWORK 2+ hour waits common after loading completes before getting paperwork and being cleared to leave. OTHER NOTES Safety concerns: lack of safety vests, no painted lines, inadequate lighting. High security protocols feel excessive to drivers. Appears to specialize in Red Bull loads. Disorganized operations — loads sometimes parked on wrong side of warehouse causing confusion. Multiple drivers report this is their last visit and recommend avoiding entirely.
