The plant had 921 cases.)

We do not carry much meat.
For our reefer division:
It is all frozen foods, fresh produce, temperature sensitive medication and stuff you keep on the shelf ( at least till you open it) .

The Dry Van Division:
It carries all the stuff to put you food in.
Cans, bottles, cartons, non temperature sensitive foods and medications.
