How long did it take you beverage/local guys to learn the handheld and different stores??

It comes quick. You get the big chains down quick. All Kroger receivers are aholes and it gets easier after that. Even when you go to stores you don't know, you'll just know how the company works so its easy. It's the mom and pop places that drive you nuts but once you get your own route you learn the customers and you get your rhythm down. For whatever reason beverage always gets craped on. Best is when your half unloaded and their truck shows up and they throw you off the dock! I used to start putting their pallets back on and what they gave me the WTF I'd tell them they either want their order or they don't. I started a lot of issues! Company didn't exactly love me haha

 

IIRC it's like the top half of a 13 or a 18 speed. So rather than rowing through 5 then doing the split and rowing back through the same 5, you would toggle the splitter in each hole. They weren't on the market super long.
