It's all about morale. I always find it pleasing when i get twice the work done in the normal work load. On christmas we had several "guests" as well as the supertrucks arriving a couple days in a row so the worlkload was nearly trippled. Was all worth the pat on the back, if you don't have that than something really is going to break.
How in the hell would that work? Are they pulling a double trailer with one reefer trailer and one frozen trailer? Our trucks here at FredMeyer are barely big enough to hold the produce load sometimes, much less all of that at once! Grocery usually has 1500-2000 piece orders in most stores, produce can get over 1000 as well.
And all at once? How would it all fit in the back room? In my store the backroom is super tiny. Departments have to come pick up their loads immediately, because we also have a lot of DSD deliveries, and they have to use the same dock.
I guess if you guys have really slow stores, they could fit it all in one reefer, but you'd have to hope it gets to the store fast from the DC, so the frozen doesnt thaw, and the dry grocery doesnt freeze, along with the produce!
It might make some sense for far-away stores. A lot of Freddies are in the middle of nowhere here in Oregon, so i can't imagine them running 3 trucks a day or every two days from the DC in Clackamas down to Brookings or Klamath Falls! Just seems....weird. Luckily the Portland metro stores have never seen such a thing. We usually get produce on one truck, deli meat/seafood and dairy/eggs on one truck, and dry grocery/bakery on another. Usually the reefer trucks have 2 or 3 stores worth of loads on them too, since theres basically 35 stores within the metro area, makes sense.

When that occurred around the Dallas area, was a very long time ago when I last seen it. That was when thewhere house was inefficientand you was dealing withsmaller stores. Was only a few years back when I was in a smaller store and they would sent everything but grocery on one truck. And then there was a few times they would put a pallet or two of grocery on it.
Grocery and frozen come together at my store. Meat, produce and dairy come on their own truck. I don't know how you could possibly fit more than grocery/frozen on a truck. Same with the perishable truck, maybe there's room for supply and peyton deliveries (which happens sometimes), but that's it.

by instead of sending them every other day.... you send them every day,
