    I’d assume you must enjoy flies, manure, and urine to do dairy.

    i know this thread is old, but incase others wander into this thread wondering

    ive been delivering dairy to stores for a few years. EASY work but youll work for it.

    whoever assembles the pallets mess up, alot. have to check the pallet before printing receipt. cut from the bill if they are short

    walmart does " audits" where you have to tear the pallet down to verify product.. easy as theres only at most 5 different types of product compared to coca cola or polar.

    4 day work week, lately theyve been running your clock all the way.. usually trailer guys have it a bit easier in terms of hours, but not lately.

    When I peddled milk, we would have enough milk on the trailer and we would pick the stops as we go. Some guys like my dad would get their early and pull all the milk off their trailer and pick each order and arrange it on trailer by each stop. Not bad because then when you get to a stop, all you have to do is hook the stacks, drop em down lift gate and wheel into store.

    We did have bigger supermarkets that they would put on pallets. But they would have the entire order for that paticular store on the pallet and shrinkwrapped.

    yep.. that’s known as a floor route. We have those on pups - -300-600 cases

    And maybe 3 routes on the floor on a trailer - 700-1000 or so cases

    there’s pallet routes

    and there’s routes on bossy carts
