    You ever run into other drivers blocking or making it harder to do your job? There is a me Miller driver I always run into that ****es me off. I usually don't care because I know we're all out working but he'll block a parking spot and I go in the c store and he's sitting down eating breakfast and drinking a coffee. Haha. Cmon man!

    Not to to much with us at Gordon's however yes there have been times when others have been in my way. I remember when I worked for the beer company I was talking to a Budweiser driver who said "Yeah well going to the gasstation across the street is fine except for Dairymen's over there they take up the whole lot."

    With our yum routes, we are usually the sole supplier. Some KFCs get fresh chicken from another vendor, and the occasional beer truck at a Pizza Hut. Customer cars, and often employee cars, are the usual obstacles.

    I ran a BWW and Applebee's route over the winter, and I turned out to be the guy in the way. I was so used to parking as close as I possibly could that it took a few times to realize I was holding someone up at just about every mid morning stop. The beer guy, the wine and spirits guy, the linen guy, UPS, FedEx, maybe an LTL delivery. I started parking farther away from the building so there was a few feet for these guys to get around the end of my ramp and into the building. I hate being in the way, especially when 3-400 case deliveries take an hour or two.
     
    Mike2633 Thanks this.
