    I know pretty much nothing about grocery. I do know they gave up circle k a few years ago when they took on a bunch of Walgreens stuff.

    We floor load nothing. I've had 1850+ cu on pallets many times. It ain't easy but it can be done. Fresh chicken can make a huge difference because it's heavy, and we can't stack anything on it because of cross contamination concerns. Usually any routes with chicken are overweight before they get much more than 1700 cubes.

    Seems like every DC is different though. Some floor load all dry product.

    I think Eby Brown does Circle K now.

    McLane took them back last year I think, at least around here.

    I know an Eby-Brown driver, and have been trying to get him to jump ship for years (recruiting bonus ;)). I thought that might do the trick, but no such luck.
     
    Mike2633 Thanks this.

    Just don’t ever get Chinese food in the same shopping center as Waffle House in Belcamp up the road. The food really sucks.
