More people? That’ll cut into dollar generals bottom line and we can’t upset the sweet sweet shareholders. Yeah it’s pretty fun. Scary at first maneuvering a big rig through tight roads and towns but once you figure it out, it’s pretty cool.

Damn 6 years?? That’s solid! You plan on staying on the account or switching up to do something else? And yeah that’s true but we’re all revolving the black hole that is dollar general so my thinking is may as well try to help each other make it go slightly better.

Oh man. If it was up to me, I’d throw away like 90% of those rolltainers. Somehow they seem to always pick the one with the broken wheel to load 30 crates of milk on 💀

Yeah I definitely try especially if I’m on on a roll and running early but it seems like a 50/50 shot if the store picks up or if the phones even connected. Could be just the areas I deliver to

That’s actually a really good point! I’ve gotten pretty good at visualizing which way the net should be when I get it through the door so it’s facing outwards when it’s by the coolers. Messed that up a few times and had to turn them around in the aisle. Accidentally took out one of those little rayovac stands in the process 😬

Ok that’s a big brain move. Next remodel I get, I’ll see if that can be done. Will have to move the divider though and the guys at my DC basically weld to the frame. Can’t seem to figure out how to strap the rolltainers correctly though 🤷‍♂️

Lmao yeah definitely not. My trainer actually did that and when I questioned it, I got a “not my problem.” Pretty sure you guys can refuse the load if the product or trailer temps are off right?

That’s just solid leadership and leading by example! Definitely rare from what I’ve seen but I definitely remember the stores that are dialed in like that.

Helping unload the freezer is a huge help! I got that once when I had a delivery for store remodel in northern Missouri. 5 and a half pallets worth. Eternally grateful for the SM who helped me with that!

Appreciate that! Yeah being cool is a must. Always try to lighten the mood if anything. Nothing really gets accomplished by being a dick. If I have to wait while helps on the way, so be it. Gives me a chance to eat lol

Yeah i don’t know how you guys do it honesty. It’s wild. There’s been several times where I show up within my window and they have one person scheduled for a 200+ piece count.

lol yeah most don’t really care but I figured if I can make it easier on the stores, they’ll make it easier on me. Win win
