You could always adopt my revolutionary tactics when early for my booking in time; merely park very close to the drop (in case some office bod is watching the tracker), tilt my seat back and go to sleep. I find this approach cuts out hunched shoulders, bloodshot eyes and stress related illness. Try it mate, you may enjoy it. 
Never matters how early or late you get there or unloaded the longest bit is finding out what to do with the one pallet they always seem to reject because they have hit it with forks.
When I once saw “I love Nisa Scunthorpe” daubed onto a derelict wall - I thought they were talking about some local Scandinavian bird who was the camp bike for the area…?

Tried that with me with a pallet of bottled water, ended up quite a heated argument.
Sadly for the thick as bricks shower of knuckle draggers I knew how liked to try this and had 3 photos of the load sitting perfectly.
W anchors in that place.

What a place this is , he’s sent me all the way round the yard for parking apparently where the Irish trucks park 
, then when I’d done that had a pop at me for speeding , then the bloke in the next truck said get your straps / doors open and you’ll be leaving with a hatrick 
, now she’s booked me in but said come back and will give you a bay at your booking time ( there’s loads of spare zb bays ) , and the culina drivers moaning he’s been here 4 hrs 
, I zb hope not , I’ll not be rushing back here
Was in 3 hours early over christmas.no dramas.

Is that the one run by DHL where they make you sign for the toilet key?
If so, are the grumpy twins* still sitting behind the desk ignoring everyone for 10 minutes and surrounded by loads of “must do”, “don’t do” bits of paper which are presumably there as entertainment reads? Don’t worry, if you’re early they’ll make sure you wait a long time and if you’re late they’ll make sure you’re ultra late on leaving. Oh and there’s absolutely no O2 signal either.
- If it’s the one I’m thinking of, the booking in woman is always complaining that nothing is ever done right and the bloke completely ignores everyone and just sits there stamping bits of paper (god knows what he’s actually doing!).
Yup…
That’s the one.
One pallet can take two hours.
No idea why.
A monument to inefficiency, red tape and up their own backsides staff.

Yep that’s their trademark at nisa Scunthorpe. They break the pallets with the forks and then refuse them because the pallets are broke.

When I used to take loads in for Tate and Lyle, they would give us back old stock that had been damaged and pass it off as that load. It was because Tates had given them an extra 60 days credit if anything on said load was damaged. They worked out they could sell the stuff before they paid for it. We had to date stamp the pallets and photograph them. Coca Cola loads had to be opened and photographed outside the gatehouse when they arrived, on cokes instructions

Will remember that next time I’m on one of their sites - sums their RDC up perfectly…!
Don’t worry Dozy, there’s always loads of bays but it’s whether the people there are actually working of sitting in the back office yapping. From what I’ve seen, they only move in herds so every so often you’ll see several of them move into the unloading area (via the office) then 10 mins later, there’s a flurry of keys coming back to the front desk. It’s just the time in between unloading that causes the delays.
They really can give Amazon a run for their money, but at the latter it’s just lack of staff.
Yep key for toilet and you have too sign for it , can’t get my head around what that’s about , but there you go
Once you got on a bay it was a quick tip to be fair and p.o.d was not many mins after
Tipping , ah well we’re out
