[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 1307282, member: 18807"] Back in the day, 16oz RT weighed 69#. Place that on a hand truck and bounce that down a flight of stairs. Soft drink delivery drivers work hard and nothing is easy. Pepsi and Coke deliver DSD (Direct to Store) and they are required to maintain the shelf. (Clean, rotate stock, face and keep the vultures from stealing space). Bigger box stores may receive a pallet drop or the route driver may have a few days with a box truck to deliver skids and a merchandiser to assist filling shelves and building displays. Usually the guys with seniority get to bid on the cherry routes. Stores in general hate back stock and some require constant fill off the truck. It is the soft drink driver who fills the shelf because to the store, the DSD driver is free labor...why pay a stock person to fill when you have free labor for fighting for shelve space. [/QUOTE]
