    Well everyone another heavy Tuesday done. 1000+ cases this Tuesday too, however the load was much better night and day difference from last week.

    That's about all out.

    Is GSF hiring where you are? That work looks so comparatively easy, everything on dollies. Just rearrange two letters and you're hired.

    Golden State isn't here in the east. Andersen DuBoise Company of Lordstown, Ohio is the McDonalds distributor for Ohio parts of PA upstate New York.

    If Anderson-DuBose was still in Solon, Ohio I would have strongly considered them no joke. However, they moved out east to Lordstown, and that's 60 miles from my house so that's a no go.

    Martin Brower has a warehouse in Cinncinatti, Ohio and they do Columbus and Cinncinatti area.

    Martin Brower did have a warehouse in Pittsburgh and for some reason they sold that warehouse off and Anderson-DuBose took over that territory and also operates another warehouse out of Rotterdam, New York.

    "
    1991:
    Anderson-DuBose purchases a 51 percent stake in McDonald's distributorship from Martin-Brower Company."

    Martin Brower Closed the Carnegie(Pittsburgh) DC when Lordstown opened. It was closed in order to break the Union and start with a fresh contract.

    Shamrock ☘️ foods tried to step up to the big boys. They picked up Arby’s from McLane 1.5 years ago and Arby’s is pulling the plug already and coming back to McLane. Think they usually go on a 5 year deal. Last bid I had 5 routes to choose from now from my guesstimation it’ll be around 20 routes I’ll be able to pick and choose on come bid time. Likely be a pretty good schedule I’m thinking. Pretty much a new hire will get a route schedule come bid time.

    wow, Shamrock blew up bad. They took on WAY too much work. They got that Arby's and Carl's Jr (denver warehouse) and just blew up.

    I had talked with them a few years back and they had their #### together and were pretty solid.

    I temped for them a few times earlier this year and it was a total crap show. no trucks, half loaded trailers, etc, etc, etc.
