The road to throwing groceries with PFG as to MAVERICKBUBBA

[grocerythrower]

They got me on another route tomorrow and a guy that started before me on the route i thought was mine. So i called the boss after i heard it on dispatch tonite he said they are a couple of guys wanting this other route so they are swapping the new guys around to all the Birmingham routes to learn all of them.

Thats good Bubba, and its not unusual, its best to learn all of the city, you have no idea when a stop your not used to will be thrown in the mix, best to know it now, thataway you can get er done and get home to that boy of yours!! Dang its hard to believe seeing him now, knowing that when he is in high school he will be as tall as you I bet!!

Yeah we are proud of him.
Man they had me with a different guy it was alright. We only had 7 stops and 167 cases couldn't believe they had us go out with that! It rain all day. Adam said they would make it up tomorrow

We send trucks out with less then that almost daily. Granted, some of those trucks run 300-400 miles in one day(return the same day). I left on my road route one time(winter) with, wait for it...............80 cases and 3 stops. 700 miles round trip, over night.

Wow!! Got to get the groceries there, I have seen some shuttle yards go out with 200 something, I'm a shuttle yard driver but here in Tulsa, there is so much business we will never go out with to pud of a trailer, that monday, I got a school route and have keys to 4 of my schools, so they went ahead and ran it.

Small compamy=small mom and pops. Not hard for some of them to have a five cases order be over are min for delivery, $300. What we lose in cases compared to the bigger guys, we make up in stops. Not unusueal to have 15-20 stops on some routes.

Thats alot of stops. I would do 15-20 stops doing LTL but foodservice i dont know. I guess its been so long since I've done a foodservice I forgot what its like. I'll find out soon. When I got to days we have at most usually 5 maybe 6 stops but average is 3-4 per truck. Alot of cases tho

Money, just wait, get in the city with 23 stops and 1100 cases, I used to do that on tues, start at 0500 and I didn't get done till 1800, I hated that route!!!!! My most stops now...around 15, thats on my Thurs, the day I run 220 miles, thats another 12 hr day plus, no matter how hard I try! Wed is that way too, 15 stops and 900 plus cases, 12 or 13 hrs, I run to many miles to do it any quicker, friday is usually 1000 cases..more or less, but I only have7-10 stops, all my customers on fri get mad groceries!! they can only fit so much, even on a 42' trailer!

No Sir, my money sux, I picked routes that ran miles, I don't make much but I'm happy, its just me now so I gotta juggle **** around and really watch what I spend, but I love my routes, I don't do squat in Tulsa, I wanted out of town and was able to bid just that, pays less but whatcha gonna do, gotta be happy Bro!
