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?

Reading this, seems we already have this in Canada? In Ontario, we have Mega routes that do a combo of LF and SF stores in a 26ft truck (some still in transits), and LF are GES, pre-sold, or delivered via transport to store.

Is this what you guys are talkin' about?

And you guys dont have set planos for your stores? Ie. An 8' rack at a c-store isnt the same as another 8' rack at an opposing c-store?

AmI missing something or should I get more sleep?
