DRISCOLL'S BERRIES: A BILLION-DOLLAR BRAND WITH AN APPALLING DISREGARD FOR TRUCK DRIVERS. After nearly 31 hours dealing with Driscoll's Watsonville, California facility, I am stunned by the disorganization, indifference, and disgraceful sanitary conditions truck drivers are expected to tolerate. My husband and I arrived at 1 PM for a 5 PM appointment. At 8 PM, we were finally told they didn't have the product. We were instructed to return at 2 PM the following day. We did. Five more hours of waiting before getting a dock door at 7 PM. Finally loaded at 8 PM. Twenty-seven hours after our original appointment. 27. Hours. And the bathrooms? Revolting. Drivers are denied access to flush toilets and relegated to filthy, foul-smelling portable toilets with urine-sticky floors and toilet paper scattered everywhere. There wasn't even toilet paper until I personally went to shipping and requested it. Flush toilets and running water are right there, behind an "Employees Only" door. If Driscoll's is concerned about keeping those facilities clean, hire someone to maintain them instead of denying drivers basic sanitation. The handwashing station had NO WATER. Not even the most basic means of washing your hands after using the toilet. Ironically, Driscoll's still has signs posted requiring face coverings, although nobody appears to enforce them. Yet providing running water and sanitary restrooms for drivers apparently isn't a priority. Look at the photographs. The filthy facilities, garbage, and tape-covered doors. Is this really the standard at a company as large as Driscoll's? Truck drivers aren't asking for luxury. We're asking for basic human dignity, sanitation, and professional courtesy. We keep America's shelves stocked, yet we're treated as though we're disposable. Driscoll's CEO Brie Reiter Smith, who took over in August, is this what your company considers acceptable treatment of the people hauling your products? Your berries may be premium, but your treatment of the people hauling them is disgraceful. Driscoll's should be ashamed.
