    He got to drive for food lion as a rookie? Did they outsource the transportation? I don’t see food lion trucks anymore... I think it’s Adesa or something?

    I used to deliver to them.

    I think fairly recently they had some failure in Trailer Dominos.

    Some research from Food Lion showed USA customers were turned off by the British lion emblem; especially in Texas. I hauled a few loads from their warehouse in Texas to the Carolinas when they were shutting down. The name "Food Lion" wasn't the problem; it was the British emblem and especially Texans felt it was unpatriotic to spend money there. "Don't mess with Texas."

    It depends. Where you live, what schedule you need, how much money you need. Which one of above is more important than the others, etc.
