I've made several grocery store deliveries in Decatur, TN but don't remember anything about the employees. If I'd had any bad experiences there, I'd remember it.

As Chris Plante says, "And that's that!"

The only grocery store in town is the piggly wiggly. Good people there, decent prices, no gas station.
Food city just bought up fresh n low, and the prices are obnoxious and the quality of products declined.
Branded stores often have gas n go on site.
The way the stores are laid out, access is great but drop locations are spread so far apart that it’s impossible to short hose everything.
The shorter the hose, the faster the wagon drains.
I get the why behind it…. Prevent cross drops because you gotta think about it.
So, you either double hose one or move the truck.
They also like to lock their fill pipes.
You either pop it with an attitude adjuster bar or wait for the fishbowl attendant to open them…. Keeping in mind that those attendants, while wonderful people, are a nano step above Walmart employees, and have little to no sense of urgency in their bodies.
We have standing instructions from their corporate office to wait 5 minutes before breaking or cutting the lock off when we’re unable to get a key to open them.
Most are now visibly secured….Chinatown Thanks this. -
Do you know any good Central Florida food grade tanker jobs?

Florida Rock & Tank; (has petroleum and dry bulk; don't know of any food grade they haul) Just noticed I already posted that in Post #12
Indian River is food grade, but no longer hires new grads; must have 12 mos. experience.Last edited: Jun 19, 2024

lol... you hit it right; one step above Walmart.

Okay thank you just trying to find all the options available to me as it's hard to find local work when your newbie and everyone is applying for the same position.Chinatown Thanks this.

I'd try Swissport in Orlando. Maybe get started with other driving there and after the company seeing your work ethic, might move you into tankers later.
I think it's a union job.
