My son has done well with them. He started working there in the warehouse right out of high school (1982) and is still with them as a sales manager. My son-in-law started there and didn't last 2 weeks. He couldn't take the pace loading pallets and loading trucks. Pallets have to be loaded on the truck in reverse order of the driver's route. and each pallet has to be correct per the customer order. A bad warehouse person can really screw up a driver's day. Not only do the trucks have to be loaded in reverse order, it is complicated by the fact that the trailers have a moveable partition that allows for the front of the trailer to be refrigerated and the rear to be isolated for dry goods such as flour and case goods. For the driver, many of the stops get both dry and refrigerated products so the driver has two pallets to worry about. One in the front of the trailer to be unloaded out the side door and then the dry goods that are unloaded down the ramp from the back of the trailer. It is process that requires both warehouse personnel and the drivers to be on their toes to insure that the customer gets what they order. |

I got another annoying call from the Bernie Sanders team. I told them to please remove me from their list and this time I mean it. Texted me back that they just did. Good residence. If he had to go up against Trump he would have a major heart attack right on TV and drop dead.

I found that it was much more strenuous and tiring than driving over the road. Over the road drivers just back to a dock and either unload their load onto the dock, or sit buy while someone unloads it for them.
The Casa drivers not only unload their cargo. They have to wheel it into the customer's location, and put it either into coolers, or a storage area, that is sometimes in a basement. Sometimes they end up parked down the block and wheel the stuff for a ways just to get to the door, or are double parked and have to wheel the merchandise between cars and pull it backwards up over a curb. Even when it goes to a grocery store, it has to be unloaded and stacked onto carts that the stores call Uboats while being checked off by the receiver.
I went back to driving over the road. Most of the time I would back into the loading dock, tell the receiver to knock on the side of my sleeper when they were done unloading, and I would crawl in the sleeper for a nap or to watch TV until they had my trailer unloaded. The heaviest thing I carried was a clipboard with the paperwork on it.

Is this going to involve the hated neighbor? The guy that keeps you awake at night?
