This week in the food logistics industry:

(*this* is *not* an isolated incident)

Target grocery stores cancel 50+ truck loads of food deliveries to restock their empty shelves *while the deliveries were en route*.

Evidence?

This is what my regional manager told me during a phone convo while explaining why there’s a 35% decrease in volume and subsequent lack of work for drivers. The parking lots at DC’s are filled with trucks right now because deliveries have grinded to a halt

Hm. Commie starvation tactics, perhaps?

I would speculate that they would rather have starvation than potential customers with covid-19 transmit the virus w/i their stores.

I’ve only been doing this job since Jan 1 & for the first time I don’t have a leave out on a Sun/Mon. Might work Wed🤷‍♂️
