Perishables, Meat, Frozen Food, and Dry Grocery delivered on same trailer (known as Super Trucks), this is a new thing for Mid Atlantic Division, are there any other divisions on this and if so, how is it working?
That sounds like a terrible idea? What if there isn't anybody available in one of the aforementioned departments to help unload and break down all that? Or what if people are scheduled to do that and the truck is several hours late? I would think it would wreak havoc on the scheduling in the different departments.

OH yes! Welcome to my world.....What you described happens to us at Wally alll the time. Our grocery deliveries break down like this: frozen/dairy, meat/produce. Not of itself a problem, but if you've got a three hour gap between frozen associates it's not uncommon to have frozen grocery stuffed in the meat cooler.
But my favorite delivery is something called HVDC trucks: dry groceries mixed with pet food, paper goods---and CHEMICALS. Man, I can smell the law suit brewing from this genius move~~
So far, so good with the way these trucks are rolling in, since going to "Super Truck" schedule, not nearly as late, only downfall is dry grocery almost always has an overload.
They used to do that for us, and are supposed to still be doing it, but they just dont. When something for, say, produce or dairy or meat comes in when no one is here to put it away, then one of the other departments just puts their pallet in the cooler and they put it up when they come in.
