How the beverage distribution business works (yawn)

I think coke cola does it best with there push lift cart thing. No restacking or two whreling

 

They don't have that in Buffalo yet. This guys are still driving the side bays and two wheeling product. Have a few bulk trucks.

 

Sometimes called a DockMaster

 

I've got my class A license and finished school, I start with a local beer distributor next week! Can't wait...

 

Just remember get your year experience in and you will have a host of other opportunities available.... good luck

 

Oh yea, I'm ready....need to lose a few more lbs!

 

Thank you! That's definitely the plan.

 

You guys were right on the money. It's definitely a lot of physical labor with maybe 1.5 hours of driving. Thankfully I'm training on a mix of a bulk and c-store route. So I'm getting experience in both.

Backed into 4 docks yesterday and had 3 c- stores to maneuver in an out of.

It's not bad at all. All the c-store products are on u-boats so you just roll it off the truck onto the lift gate, then into the store.

Bulk routes are taken off with an electric pallet jack. Only 1 store has to scan every item! That sucks.

 

That's how the Budweiser distributor in Naples Florida does there convient stores - all on you boats. It's a good idea until you get an account u have to two wheel the entire order to fit
