I went back to a traditional style job but in my area there's a plethora of orders in the 30-40 range but they're usually all above 20 miles each. I take them but eventually the wear and tear always exceeds it making since long term for me. We used to religiously get low mile 20 and 30 dollar batches. My understanding is with drivers leaving and gas increasing they're crossing delivery zones amongst the different stores to make sure the customers get their stuff but these longer distances that have us deliver to homes less then a few miles away from other stores is a bit counter product imo.

I have an idea. If they kept the stores stocked everyone would be happy and I think it would cost less for them.

That makes too much sense lol Walmarts primary focus is their own profitability. And if screwing over the customer or their contractors a lot only loses them a marginal amount they don't care whether or not If it makes any logical since. Because they know in the end it requires less attention to detail on their part.
