Former vendor here. Do vendors for Miller/Coors, Pepsi, Lays, and other brands make your job difficult?

I would often hop out of the truck to run in a few cases of beer just to walk out to a trucker with his hand on the horn because my truck was in the path. But in my area it is first come first serve for the vendors and we all know it.

I knew what stops I needed to get to first so that I could get in and out of the establishment or the lot before it filled up with other vendors. So really narrow backlots to large super centers where Publix is in the middle of all the stores make it hard for the OTR drivers to get in there during peak hours. I understand the frustration but at the same time we all have jobs to do.
