Time for Action

I know this has been beaten to death people, but its time to try something different...

I spent 7 hours at UNFI in Lancaster Texas waiting to unload and receive paperwork for 5 pallets, identical product, same SKU, no sort and separate needed.

I'm so tired of this, if we as Independents just began by boycotting one company at a time, I honestly believe that we will have an impact.

I know the Mega's will continue to haul into the places we boycott; however, I see enough independents in these places that by withholding out services they would sit up and take notice. It's not that we would be sitting losing money while they were dragged into submission, its simply hitting one company at a time.

I know right now that there is going to be a whole lot of negative responses to this post and yes, you can say whatever you want, but it's time for us to really get our collective heads together and try to create some form of change.

I'm ready for the negative replies but I'm also ready to try and create some unity to hopefully come up with something to stop the insanity.

AND.... GO.

 

I honestly believe that if the independents stuck together, we could accomplish the same... The majority of trucks in there the other night were O/O... Thanks for the reply though.

 

Well somewhere along the way the one in Aurora was impacted and the process there has improved 75%... so its achievable, and yep, us poor fools that book scraps from load boards can hopefully influence change, even in a community of "I'm alright Jack'" attitudes.

 

So status quo is the best method of moving forward? Forget about the time for a minute, what about the complete disregard for the dignity of the driver when the restroom door is off the hinges and open to male and female alike to use, shouldn't we all be concerned about our dignity?
eing detention can be useful at times if you're needing o take your 10, but sadly those times don't always mesh up, I would prefer to get in, unload and move on.
