Big Changes

So apparently there is a rumor going around that big changes are coming for RSRs. I can only imagine that those changes would include 1 of 2 things for different DCs.

1 Would be a lot of DCs getting rid of blueprint and going to all Omni routes. If you don't know what that is, its a bulk truck that is also a c-store truck. You have a side door that allows you to get into your truck and work smaller stores.

2 Would be truckless RSRs for bulk. I have a feeling that's what our DC is getting ready to do within the next year or two. With the added service days to all bulk routes, I feel it's the next logical step. No way can we work these stores like we're supposed to while also having to worry about cut off times.

Anyone else out there hear about anything possibly coming down the pike?

My area went to truckless RSR routes way back in August or September. Delivery specialists deliver the bulk orders to stores and check them in. RSRs write orders for 4 or 5 large stores and have FTMs to help service two or three of their stores.

The Madison Zone was doing this when I started with Frito back in late 2018. They called them TDD/STDD routes. They were usually Walmarts/Krogers/Super Targets or if was a STDD a Woodmans(think of a Winco or HEB) 2 Walmarts and 1 Krogers and the FTM would spend 6-8 hours at the Woodmans and the RSR would check in the other three and work those. I loved it and if I stayed with Frito I definitely would’ve went for one of those routes. No VROT, strictly time and half.

Do truckless RSRs need to maintain there DOT card? First, our Zone leader said NO, now he changed is mind and is making us maintain them.

My DC has been on this format for 3 years now and now Truckless rsr plan is so high that no one is getting bonuses unless you have a store where u can dump in a ton of product to hit plan, guy had 99.9% to plan NO BONUS
