HOUSTON, Texas, and PORTLAND, Oregon, Nov. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Today, Sysco Corporation (NYSE: SYY), the leading global foodservice distribution company, received its first series-produced battery electric Freightliner eCascadia.
With one of the largest private fleets in the United States, Sysco is leading the future of sustainability for foodservice distribution.
Sysco's first zero-emission Class 8 truck was presented to Marie Robinson, Sysco's EVP and chief supply chain officer at the Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) Manufacturing Plant in Portland, Oregon.
The company's first Freightliner eCascadia is expected to operate in Sysco's Riverside, California site, which will receive additional eCascadias in the coming months.
It brought back memories.
My dad visited grocery stores every day of his life after he turned 70 years of age, mostly to buy lottery tickets and have lunch at the deli.
Everyday he saw the SYSCO trucks delivering food and he was impressed.
That's how his kids (me included) inherited so much CISCO from his portfolio account.
By the way, he also bought a lot of Apple, Inc., at the time, thinking it was a fruit company.
True stories. My dad: perhaps one of the best investors ever.
