Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Their delivery time isn't the greatest. 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. which doesn't sound awful, but it messed my route up pretty good when they added one to my layover. Just added a lot of unnecessary back tracking. And they just don't have a very good setup for food deliveries. Lots of walking. The biggest order I took in there was 450 cases and took me about 3 hours. I had to touch all of the freezer and cooler twice to stack it to the ceiling cuz of limited space. I felt pretty bad for whoever came in the next morning to put the truck away!!
But hey, their food is pretty good!

 

Guess it's not HAT ?

 

I've seen mc lane at the Pizza Hut in Columbus. Weird how that works.

 

I'm confused to like GFS does Pizza Hut the same Yum brands red roof pizza hut? This Pizza Hut:

The Pizza Hut started by the Carney Brothers in Kansas in 1959? Or is there another place called Pizza Hut?

@truck_guy please clarify this matter.
I swear all the old Pepsi Food Service Accounts were rolled into McLane and McLane did all the stuff for Yum Brands, unless like Zach said there's some strange independent one off franchisers in Indiana that have an agreement where they can make there own rules and what not and they don't have to use McLane and are not associated with Yum brands.

 

Yup. It's the same Yum Pizza Huts. They must have some special deal where they can do their own bidding. I do know that yum has absolutely nothing to do with them. Besides the occasional inspection and things have to be done a certain way for the brand of cours. I'd say we service around 40 or so of them.

 

Also, Yum is known to do audits while we're out on a route. So we have to keep very accurate tempature logs of product with a thermometer. I respect a company like that that puts effort into making sure the product their customer consumes is safe.

 

And by the way, that big hump in the top of the roof that puts the "hut" into Pizza hut is actually an attic. That's where they store a lot of their dry goods.

 

it's #### good training though for anything else.

after food service, anything (except trim, that did suck worse than food delivery) everything else is easy.

think of it as boot camp for truckers.
