As someone who works for Sygma (Sysco Subsidiary), I have to respectfully disagree, Sysco only deals with foodstuffs (produce, fresh meats, and packaged goods like butter and ice cream). The only other thing they handle is dry goods for individual restaurants like bags, napkins, fry cartons, etc. Then there are cleaning supplies like brooms, mops, and sanitation chemicals by companies like Ecolab. No electronics or software gets handled by these drivers. One mistake, and you have electronics exposed to moisture, they wont take that risk...as the 3 sections in those trailers are separated by removable bulkheads. One trailer holds frozen, refrigerated, and dry goods for delivery to store locations. Even in newly opened restaurants (Wendy's Steak N Shake, Panera Bread, Firehouse Subs, etc), Although Sysco covers sit-down outlets (Chili's Texas Roadhouse, etc), I've never seen a Sysco or Sygma driver handle POS systems or electronics of any sort, and we frequently cover Sysco loads when they're short-handed here in Orlando and Ocoee (Sysco terminal).
