I work 5-6 trucks a week. 18 stores. Missed obj by 5 grand, but up 20 grand over last year. Joke. If you trend light on any hours, rms say here another truck bo, you got it.
Pretty obvious isn't it? Kinda hard to conceal things when we have seen other consumer goods companies leave DSD and go warehouse before us! Reps are no longer writing orders, we mostly throw cases....just like a store clerk, for more than double the cost!
DUH!
