These aren't long haul drivers. They can run back to the warehouse 3 or 4 times if necessary and still be under their allotted HOS.

Now let me tell you about relief drivers. Relief drivers are drivers who are available to help when volume is high. They jump in one of the extra rigs the distributor has in the yard and pick up a few stops. Usually they jump in a side loader and run 5 or 6 stops to relieve some of the pressure on a driver or two. 

 

Like I said, you don't know what youre talking about. Maybe in some industries what you're saying is applicable. It isn't in this industry. 

Sounds like I could jump in and make your little local distributor a lot more money.  Lots of resources sitting idle.  

But that's not what we are talking about, are we.  We're talking about 10,000+ employees of a huge corporation.  Huge corporations are my industry.

No, you couldn't because you clearly know nothing about the industry. 

 

Also, I've been talking about all of the people affected by this boycott. Not just AB employees but everybody else down the line, including distributors and retailers.

#1 beer in America

Fun fact, I just looked it up and Modelo is owned by... wait for it... AB InBev!  

Well, technically not in the US, because of antitrust laws apparently.  Although I don't know the structure behind Constellation Brands or if it is related to InBev.

Quote

Who Owns Modelo Now?

If you had said Grupo Modelo, you wouldn’t be wrong. But you wouldn’t be entirely correct either. I’ll explain.

The original manufacturers of the beer went by the name Cervecería Modelo. However, there was a change of name to Grupo Modelo. For long, Grupo Modelo led the Mexican market in percentage shares and reserved the exclusive rights to Modelo. That changed in 2012, as AB InBev, the Belgian brewing giant, acquired Grupo Modelo for $20.1 billion.

In 2013, Constellation Brands acquired the US rights to Grupo Modelo due to the United States antitrust laws. For context, the antitrust law is a collection of laws regulating businesses’ conduct and organization, promoting competition, and preventing unjustified monopolies. The US Department of Justice referred to this law when AB InBev wanted to control Grupo Modelo completely.

As you can see, the ownership status of Modelo is complicated. However, in the United States, you can refer to Constellation Brands as the beer owner. Outside of the United States, the most accurate description of Modelo’s owner would be AB InBev-owned Grupo Modelo. But you can also say Grupo Modelo.

Yes, I knew that.  But it is brewed in Mexico which was what my initial statement about them said.

Helpful Hint:

If you want to maximize profit you try to get all your equipment running all the time.  Just like you want all your employees to be working all the time.  Equipment sitting idle is a big time money loser.  Add this to your business plan:

- Rental agreement to temporarily replace trucks that break down or need service.

- Service agreement for repair shop, top priority.  Lock in prices.

- If your fleet is big enough do a cost comparison if it make sense to hire your own mechanics to service and repair. 

You're welcome.

True, but they could expand in the US if, say, demand grew, like is happening now.  From the same link as earlier:

Quote

Where Is Modelo Brewed In The United States?

Modelo is not brewed in any location in the United States. That will definitely surprise many, but it’s true. The company has not seen the need to expand into the United States, despite the US being the largest consumer of their exports. This is probably to save costs and energy, as the beer can be easily moved into the United States since it shares a border with Mexico.

Still, many would expect Constellation Brands to bear some of the production burdens. For those that don’t know, due to the United States antitrust law, Constellation Brands has full import and marketing rights to all of the company’s beer business in the United States.

However, Constellation Brands still cannot brew Modelo in the United States. Notwithstanding, Constellation Brands has capable breweries in the United States if there’s ever any need to expand.

Similar to the United States, no brewery produces Modelo in the rest of the world. Again, Grupo Modelo will have no problem changing its policy, considering the beer company is a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s biggest beer company. As such, integrating Modelo into their brewing schedule would not be much of a bother.

Given the relationship to InBev, this seems like a win-win scenario -- redirect some resources from BL to Modelo in the US.  Capitalism at work.

So your idea of "saving money" is to run double the number of trucks, with double the number of drivers, to deliver the same amount of beer that could be delivered with half the number of trucks and drivers.

I have some sympathy for the employees who potentially lose their jobs and had no control over the situation. However, this pushback needs to be a lesson for other companies. It’s unfortunate these employees are paying the price, but someone had to.

Everything sounds dumb coming out of the BonusBoy filter.  But what you accidentally said isn't too bad of an idea.  If you've got extra trucks that are idle they would be making money if you leased them out.  Bud Light can have a recall clause in the lease agreement to get them back quick if anyone ever decides to drink their beer again.

In one post you say distributors should max out trailer loads to maximize profits. A point with which I agree, by the way.

In a subsequent post you suggest if there are idle trucks you should use them to maximize profits. 

If you're going to utilize the idle rigs, you're going to have to reduce the loads on the rigs you had previously maxed out. Which means you have a bunch of half empty trucks rolling around delivering goods you could've delivered on fewer trucks, with fewer drivers, burning less fuel and causing less wear and tear on the fleet.

You shouldn't target to have idle rigs in the first place.  Why did you buy a bunch of extra trucks that arent making money?  Sell them. Lease them out. Do something, it's dead money.

Volume fluctuates daily. Trucks you may not need on Monday or Wednesday, you may need on Tuesday and Friday. 

Putting trucks on the road is expensive. Routes are designed for maximum efficiency. Using as few trucks and drivers as possible on a daily basis saves money. 

That doesn't mean you'll never need the extra trucks or drivers, you just want to minimize their usage whenever possible.

100% agree. I never said anything different.  If you ctrl-f "maximize" you'll find me saying that multiple time. 

Now if you suddenly had to fill Bud Light's shelf space in addition to yours, you need more trucks and drivers etc.
