sounds like they're working for an outfit like my son in law. Supplying food stores in the Chicago suburbs. He was a route driver for a couple of years and then they told all the drivers and handlers they had to run the routes as subcontractors and all products taken from warehouse were They no longer will take return products that date expire. Slick move, eliminated drivers, trucks, and outside employees and benefits, taxes, and on and on.All they have to do is get their contractors to pick up and supply their stores.
