The manager at the Wal-Mart store near here was able to tell me without
even
looking at a schedule, on what days trucks "usually" arrive for certain
types
of products.  Trucks come and go every day.  But specific item types come
in
only on specific delivery schedules.  But he did note that often, an out
of
stock item might not come in at all (we were discussing one that had not
been
in the store for 6 weeks) and that sometimes it is because the item is out
of
stock at the warehouse, and sometimes it is low priority and does not make
it
onto the truck.  He mentioned they almost never send partial truckloads.

What I wonder is, once the truck is emptied at the store, if there is a
vendor
nearby not too far off the return route, would it be feasible to divert
the
empty truck over there and pick up a load to go to the warehouse?
