Beer truck drivers at work

I told my self when beer hauling is done one day and it will be it's either the city or I'm dusting off the old passenger bus endorsement and go to work for the local charter bus company and I'll drive a snow plow for ODOT in the winter time when the bus business gets slow.

 

Same boat here snow and ice pushing the two wheeler all around, taking the beer kegs down the stairs. Lets see what other dumb thing did I get to do today, oh the stupid waiting, got screwed over at a stop today that for some reason gets special treatment. Some of our every other week or every two week customers that have small orders can be real pains to deal with. In all honesty there should be such a thing as a Will Call only list meaning if your a customer and you can't be bothered to be where your supposed to be when you say your going to be there, then were not delivering you need to come to the warehouse and pick it up your self.

I have 1 stop on Thursday that's never where there supposed to be, one time it took me an hour to deliver 6 bottles of wine. What people also don't understand is there is such thing as a last delivery.

One time I had some convenience store on my list of stops and I didn't know anything about it and I get to it and the guys not there and it's 3:00pm in the afternoon. I call the guy leave him a message no answer finish my route and then went back to the store, guys still not there $150.00 order. I phoned management and asked to round trip it, they said go ahead bring it back in.

Later that day as I was checking out this fool starts blowing up my telephone like crazy, finally I picked it up and he said "You have a beer delivery for me." I responded with "I did have a beer delivery for you, but you missed your delivery time I can no longer help you." I then hung the phone up on him, I was not interested in his response nor did it matter.

Pretty much after the 3rd attempt your done, and getting skipped. Some of these customers need to be taught a lesson and once they miss delivery a couple times and the shelves are looking bare and there losing all the money to the store across the street then they might, just might start to learn. How the heck knows though a big section of the population now a days I swear is half brain dead, narcissism and look at me look at me runs so rampant it's hard to figure.

Like today I when I got back in I was talking to another driver who works the same side of town I do in fact I saw his truck at a social club making a delivery today while I was driving by. Any how he said that, that club he was waiting at forever and did all kinds of skipping around, but at the end of the day he said "How much back tracking am I supposed to do throughout the day?"

I said "You know back tracking really, isn't a good solution because you didn't solve the problem you just skipped around it and it was just still there and kind of screws you over all the same."

I tell you what though, if there was a redelivery fee like well we showed up and you weren't there or weren't ready or what ever and we had to come back that same day and it was even so much as $10.00 man those customers would be raising holy hell and if the company stood there ground on it, I bet attitudes would change real quick.

 

We get paid on commission as well so every case we deliver we get paid for, so I try to deliver every case I have. However now and then cases break or what ever it's rare to have a day without some kind of return or the sales department makes an error and sends to much, that pretty much happens all the time.

 

This is what a local beer distributor looks like on the inside. This is the Miller distributor in Cleveland, Ohio where I live. That MGD truck in the video runs out in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. I used to do my companies version of that route and would run into that driver all the time he's a pretty cool dude.
