    @Mike2633 might have some pro tips for you. I know he's told me about having some of those dilemmas when he was new. And he's a ninja with a dolly.

    I'm sure over time a food/beverage driver gets used to making that assessment in a split second - whether it's worth chancing the tricky back or better to walk the product farther.

    Another thing to keep in mind here is the seemingly uncanny ability to suddenly remember the doctors’ appointment they’re late for as soon as you pop the brakes. :rolleyes:

    Never fails.
