Partial truckloads must be: • Split with another agency to equal a full truckload • Increased to equal a full truckload • Cancelled/Not requested SLIC Coop Member Districts

13. USDA Foods Direct Delivery • This is an example of the 2018-19 Brown Box Request Data. As you can see meeting full truckload requirement are difficult and require the SLIC Coop Executive Committee to make decisions on how many trucks will be requested and in what months those trucks will actually come in.

14. Updates to 2019-20 Annual Entitlement Expenditure Request • MANDATORY– Due date is February 22, 2019 • No exceptions • Based on historical dates that Brown Box is received, we are limiting the available months to request items. • This will ensure that we have capability to meet full truckload quantities • Improved visibility of anticipated receive dates to more easily predict use of storage (either at district or at Gold Star) • Processing Survey – please ensure that you are denoting the processors you are planning on using, paying attention to both the processor and the end product.
