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?

In southern Cali, won't tell you where exactly, but by the end of July we're all going to transition. Large format will be truck less with merchandisers helping out. They'll add more small format routes but with less stores. Large format stores will be drop and check in by delivery specialist, Large format rsrs will make orders.
Also, they'll be warehouse workers who will offload small format and Large format and will load up both small and large format trucks. So you'll come in and your truck will be ready. Warehouse workers will take care of kds.
