HI guys,
Today Friday 3/14/2014 I set a personal best delivered $13,890.00 for the State Liquor Store. Now I know in Food delivery $13,890.00 is not even a whole days work, but for hard liquor that's a lot of booze. I had one stop that was 131 bottles and the total was over $3,000+.
I was really busy because of St.Patrick's day on Monday, every account that my liquor store has ordered in above average quantities! Even the smaller customers ordered heavy well they ordered heavy for them at least. I was talking to a Budweiser Distributor driver this morning at my first stop and he said that, there slammed at his Budweiser Distributor right now.
One thing that's kind of interesting is I have become familiar with some of the other guys out on the road per say, like one of the Beer distributors I am familiar with one of there drivers because him and I pretty much stop at the same places we see each other at the same places on the same mornings every week because we have the same customer. Does that ever happen to you guys? Like do you talk to and see other food service drivers because maybe your at a joint account and are delivering at the same time?
Any how I saw that Superior Beverage Group out of Solon and Youngstown, Ohio is hiring they had a help wanted sign up at my truck driving school and being that I am currently in the beverage delivery business my self working for the State of Ohio Liquor Agency I thought that maybe working for one of the beer companies would be cool, what do you guys think about beverage service vs food service?
Also when you guys are out delivering do ever have kids in school buses wave to you?
I was headed to my last stop of the day today and I pulled up next to a school bus and gosh it must have just been second or maybe third grade age children, any how I was sitting next to the school bus at a red light and these two little girls as cute as can be waved to me and I waved back and they both giggled to each other and feel back in there seats. I couldn't help it I giggled to my self when that happened, heck I'm still smiling about it right now when I think about it ha-ha it certainly put a different spin on the day and put things in a different perspective. It's funny when that happened I thought about Grocery Throwers Story with the two girls who appeared over the fence.
Any how thank you for reading and as always thank you for your input, I'm going to go fry some fish right now out in the garage and I'll talk to you all soon.
