They will provide you with a Timbuk 2 bag if you want, or you can use your own. I prefer my own since I have a phone pouch on there, pens, hidden change, etc. Drinks get carried in hand, the food bags go in my bag.

OK, got it. But.........what happens when an order has multiple beverages?
Another question. What has been your longest run for a delivery?

I can carry two drinks in one hand, that is it. Our store has a pretty small delivery area to keep delivery times at a minimum and they like to keep us close, mostly on campus to get in and out quickly and due to a lack of car parking. Last year during the big rivalry home college football game....I worked 5 hours, made 40 deliveries and rode 33 miles.

Yep, sometimes have 4-5 orders in my bag at one time, some buildings are right in a row, some are a bit away, but they like to set us up for maximum efficiency so we are in and out quick.

Can someone ride a four pack of Topo Chico over to my house please?
All this talk of drinks and riding has me pretty thirsty.
