    It’s a great account to work on, tho.. the pay is good; the runs are there...I remember when the crash of 2008 hit! The food delivery guys were always busy: we gotta still eat..., but, darn; things went slow really quick for van loads.....

    Coke in my area is Geo box with a lift gate and electric jack. All of the orders are on pre built skids. Almost always see them 2 on a truck paid hourly. Where are you at now?

    Yeah, but don’t you have to put the loads away at the customer and rotate the stock around? That can be a real pain in the butt at times depending on the shape of customers coolers.. :(

    I’m not sure; I don’t think Caito does... I bet Walmart does if it’s a direct Walmart load. The Caito loads I’ve been running for the last 3 weeks to Walmart have been easy to get there on time.. Since we are paid by the day to run.. sitting for live unloads aren’t that big a deal on Caito.. I’ve loved working on that account! I miss home, tho: a lot! Lol
