click on the home page, youll get all the addys and numbers u want dumb fuckface THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! LOSER

With David Weinstein one of the more recent board member suddenly giving up his position maybe he was not happy with Mr. Jung? Keep an eye on this, I smell a rat.

Third world wages are already here, all we need is the third world worker's themselves to complete the transition Good luck Mr, Jung you'll need it!!!!!!!!!

Ok, let think this out now. Mr.Junk worked down in a third world country that really don't eat bread unless you call tortilla's bread. He sold soda pop in an area where you don't want to drink the water unless you have a case of tiolet paper handy. But on the brighter side he will make our company look politically correct by making our EEOC look good. I think we need buckle our seatbelts cause this could be another bumpy ride until Mr. Junk proves himself.

I agree with Insider's advice to Mr. Jung. And I don't think his compensation package is the least bit out of line with today's realities. You get what you pay for and his resume is awesome. Good luck to Jung and please don't leave us little guys twisting in the wind. Let us know what the plan is and maybe we can all pull the rope in the same direction.

Hmmmm....sounds to me like Interstate should have just stayed the #3 baking company as it was in 1995 and left Continental alone...paid too much and has been mis-managed ever since. Don't worry it'll be back to that status soon, as Sara Lee starts buying off chunks/brands of IBC.

Dang what a signing bonus 1.2mil plus the new guy is eligible for 100% of his annual salary as a bonus. Good bye Tony the Crook and take the rest of the thieves with you when you leave for good. Advice for Mr, Jung, CEO, Fire all of the top executives immediately and bring in people you can trust, otherwise you are doomed from the first day you walk into the office.

IBC Names Craig Jung as CEO Tuesday January 30, 8:43 pm ET KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interstate Bakeries Corporation (IBC) (OTC: IBCIQ.PK - News) today named Craig D.

Michael Anderson, a long-time member of IBC's Board of Directors, who was elected Board Chairman on January 24, 2007, said, "Craig Jung is the right choice to lead the Company going forward. He is a highly respected executive with prior CEO and COO experience and a proven track record in leading performance turnarounds."

His assignments at PepsiCo included successfully turning around revenue and profit performances at Frito-Lay's Canadian operations, and leading a successful turnaround of Pepsi-Cola's South American operations. Mr. Jung graduated in 1975 from West Point and received his master's degree in public administration from Harvard University in 2004. Under terms of a three-year employment agreement, Mr. Jung will receive an annual base salary of $900,000 and a signing bonus of $1.2 million. Beginning with the 2009 fiscal year, he will be eligible to participate in the Company's annual performance bonus plan.

Drunkdogbastard was right- New CEO named, ex-Pepsi man.

Drunkdogbastard was right- New CEO named, ex-Pepsi man.

With those losses we better start looking for a job quick. That means we are losing money at about $170,000,000.00 per year BEFORE the rest of the expenses are subtracted and we are just now going into our slow season.

The financial reports just keep getting WORSE !! As reflected in the MOR, the Company reported net sales of $213.1 million for the four week period ended December 16, 2006, a decrease of 4.1% from the prior four week period ended November 18, 2006. The Company’s net loss for the four week period ended December 16, 2006 was $12.9 million, an increase of 80.3% from the prior four week period ended November 18, 2006.

I AGREE..THATS WHY YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF MORE LOWER LEVEL MANAGEMENT TYPES THAT FOR THE MOST PART DO NOTHING OTHER THAN OCCAISONALLY RUN A ROUTE...RIGHT MR. S. NAP....

Okay, you all can use my AKA (Grille) all you want. It won't piss me off. And by the way, I'm not the boss and I never said I was.

Payroll, U guys suck just like all the local payroll dept's

Yes , Just as long as you wash your hands somewhere.

glendale is it true your employees are allowed to piss in the yard?

Hey Wacko Dont they have to pay you for 1 hour for giving a urine sample?

No one fixes problems here they find someone to blame and then we do it all over again till we find someone new to blame and on and on and on and on Bart you'll do just fine in Henderson enjoy station casino they have a great buffet and some nice tail roaming around there.........

Just look at all I have done to make this place more better I've rid the place of anyone that was worth anything and have destroyed anything that looked like anything they love me here just ask HR they love me too!!!

I say close the f*cking thrift stores. But then people at Corporate wouldnt have anywhere to steal money from.

Thats the way to put money on the bottom line, A snow scare let them all run to the thrift store and buy fresh product at 1/3 the price. Good idea.

THRIFT STORES Has anyone heard any news about thrift stores??????????? Sales are down. We need a good snow scare.

Bart Simpsons over in Henderson bakery doing what Larry Lumley was doing, trying to fill in that quicksand pit. Better hurry Bart Glendale will be your next stop cesspool stop.

Another door prize to, Big Utah, Why all this retrospect? This is the way the mob has always worked. Now lets take care of business.

S-T-B-Ex-IBC-S Itt was always very nervous about the 1.5 / 2% bottom line at CBC. It takes very alert management to react to economic conditions with that slim of a margin. CBC was, however, a cash cow in that ITT had a person specifically in charge of loaning out the huge daily cash flow from CBC on very short term, very high interest notes. Not sure if RP or IBC had the same savy. It has been extremly dissappionting for someone who spent their working life as part of the biggest & best baking company in the country see that enterprise go so far downhill. I even have a few shares of stock that I just can't bear to part with. Sure wish that there were some Larry Batteys, Joe Signores, Harry Pierces, and Jim Williams' around to pull this thing out. But, alas, probably not going to happen. Some have asked "what will happen now?" My guess would be that as many bakeries as possible will be closed - even more than have already been. The top level management will change direction and rely on advertising and qualllllity control for the products. There is no other answer. Mid-level management will be substaantially reduced - particularly in the sales area. Routes will become independent distributor as quickly as possible. Think about it - no one has come up with an alternate method to distribute fresh bakery products that is more effecient than route distribution. The probllem is with the very high costs of that method which is partially cured with ID's

As long as they are postmarked by 01/31/07. the IRS says we mailed them timely. Even if not the IRS will not do anything to us before 02/15/07. So you will get your Da## W2's as soon as we finish printing them off.

anyone know what is suppose to be on sale this week? any one know when are we getting our w 2 forms, do those assholes know we are suppose to have them now

Anon from Utah is right- CBC before being plundered by Ralston Purina was a class act, and a model for the industry. We set the standard, and I remember the daily product samplings and how they actually sweated the AIB inspections. To blame the old CBC management that left years ago and the hard working union folks for IBC's current problems is ridiculous- Ralston Purina started the process of heading CBC toward bankruptcy and IBC finished the job!

The Creditors are calling in their notes. They are tired of waiting to see who will be running this firm. They no longer have confidence in Tony A to turn around this mess. The CEO who was going to take Tony's offer has pulled out he would rather retire than put up with this sink hole. Again we sink wven lower. Attention Human Resources - here is my two weeks notice, effective immediately. I am moving on to better pay, better benefits and sane management.

I think Iraq has a better chance to succeed than IBC

You shouldnt say anything cause Im the boss

.....REDRUM

BY THE WAY, I'M BETTER THAN MY BOSS....

Too many dumb people are running this misfortune

Razz You are probably correct in your assertion that the only thing left, given the current personnel, is the dismanteling of an icon. Unfortunately there are few left that remember 10 day training for new RSR's, two week training for new supervisor, two weeks additional for branch mgr. 13 week training for ASM's and 26 week training for GM's. Not ot mention daily random scoring of product for quality with GM, Production Mgr., Engineer and Sanitation all present. You are correct also that there was not clear direction from IBC regarding margins - just go get enough to keep the ovens full and the rest will take care of itself. The reason for examples like your Zingers is the direct result of turf wars by many who could not get over the fact that they were no longer competitors. I am just relieved that my retirement is not dependent on the outcome of this mess.

To Anon in Utah: Your story sounds a very similiar to mine. At least you have most of the facts straight. I would only disagree with your statement of going back to CBC practices. This is the year 2007, labor costs, product costs, transportation costs, have all drastically risen. Also, the main reason for their downfall was that they had no plan of execution from the outset. Regardless of who was in charge , there was never a true vision of what the #1 leader in the baking industry should do to improve profits. Greedy individuals and like you said incompetent management was at fault. A unionized workforce, that with benefits was way over paid for what they do .I highly doubt CBC could have done any better without a plan. I know several CBC employees that had no idea of what it took to manage either. I digress and should not go off on tangents. IBC is a behemoth of a company that did not want to go outside of the company to execute a plan of action on improving the company. It is a messy situation on trying to place blame at this point. It is pretty much over except the dismantling of an american icon. An example of change would have been Dolly Madison zingers being labeled as Hostess zingers , as they are now. Why did it take so long for change????????????????

IF YOU DONT HAVE THE BALLS TO USE YOUR OWN NAME, PLEASE DONT USE MINE

THAT IS ALL WELL AND GOOD BI=UT THAT WAS THE PAST....WHAT ABOUT OUR FUTURE????

Lots of misinformation on the relative health of IBC and CBC over the years. First, IBC. In the early 90's IBC was going broke. Chuck Sillivan and several other top management hocked everything they owned to do a leveraged buyout of the stock and, over a period of several years, finally got the company ibarely nto the black CBC was a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT and provided them with a terriffic cash flow. ITT decided to divest of many of their non-core businesses and amond them sold CBC to Ralston Purina for about 160 million. Ralston's goal was to attempt to build the major brands to improve the profit margins of CBC. Some of the attempts worked, some did not. the biggest stumbling block was the regional competitors who kept prices and margins artificially low. Additionally, the misguided local management decisions to go after private label, R&I and bid business sucked much of the brands margins oout of the system. After several years Ralston put CBC on the block and received a proposal from IBC to buy CBC for almost 500 million, three times what they paid, primariily in IBC stock because IBC had very little cash on hand. After the sale was complete IBC offered most of the top management of CBC a severance package to remove them from the decision process and the payroll. Thus, from the beginning, IBC management was the ones making the top decisions. At the time ofthe sale CBC was aboutthree times the size of IBC in sales and personnel. The size of the new operation was just too much for many of the IBC folks to comprehend, let alone manage. As the remaining long time CBC management was phased out the demise began. As one who was there, I can testify to the fact that the CBC fundamentals of operation were gradually diminished to the point that quallity and service went away. Personnel training from entry level to top management also became a thing of the past. Too bad. For IBC to survive some of the past CBC practices have to be put back in place - if its not too late.

...and just because I put down Henderson doesnt mean I'm working it that graveyard. Just happens to be our home office. Too many dumb people have computers.

It was a $3000 route average out of the Riverside area. I didn't beleive it either. I was training the Dolly Supv and he should me is books. I'm not saying it ws IBC, not saying it was CBC, but yes, a great combination of stupid people in high places, who padded there pockets and now it is costing 4 grat icons their place in the baking industry. That is Dolly Madison, Weber, Hostess and Wonder. Yep, I guess I have my head in my ass. But at least I put my name with my post. Oh ya, I'm proud!

SMARTER THAN YOU: You're a dickhead!

Hey dude, keep up the good work hahahahaha. Idiot..........

hey rsr in memphis they are company {Lewis} routes you fucking moron

" Comment: Name: Langendorf 62nd Street Depot Date: 2007-01-26 Location: Location:Los Angeles, CA (Dolly) YOU FORGOT TO MENTION ONE IMPORTANT FACT. I WAS THERE TRAINING. DOLLY MADISON WAS ALREADY ON THE ROPES WHEN HOSTESS TOOK OVER DOLLY IN SO. CAL, BEFORE IBC BOUGHT CBC BACK. THERE ROUTE AVERAGE AT TAKE OVER WAS LESS THAN $300 A WEEK. GET IT STRAIGHT PLEASE." I recall my route average being close to $10,500 a week, of course I had a vending stop, but our averages were about $6500 before Hostess/CBC took over, if anything fell below $5000/week it would be ridiculous not to cut the route up and divide it up among the rest of the routes. I do remember the shipment of cake across the country, what a mess that was... "They caused the bankruptcy from years of incompetent management. we all know upper management has initiated the same idiotic ideas years but the experienced route drivers were able to circumvent their methods and continue selling the correct way." Also correct, and the problem with the new guys is that they rely on the hand held way too much, the industry is losing the "old timers" who know how to run a route, all of the tricks and how to trick the computer and it's "carry-over" crap. The hand held was just an invoice printer for me, I knew my load and what my store did, it was all in my head, you "old timers" who remember the days of hand written invoices know what I'm talking about. The bad thing for the baking industry is that all of the "old timers" are retiring (or dying) and all that is left are people who are improperly trained and don't know anything about selling. (and use the hand held as a crutch) I used to train the new guys not to rely on the hand held, it made them better routemen. (and women) But we can lament all we want, those days are long gone. The whole thing with Bimbo, I know an Oroweat driver, he tells me they extended their contract for another couple of years, but after that who knows, he just wants to get his 10 with the Teamsters then he's out because rumor is that they will sell the Oroweat/Entemann's routes just as they did Mrs. Baird's in Texas, and all of those Bimbo guys better be wary too, right now they're fortunate that Bimbo matched their pay to the Oroweat drivers level, but in the future, who knows... I still stand by my previous statement that IBC's problems started when they started dancing with Continetal/Purina, look at the history of IBC, Roy Nazfiger (I think that was his name) is probably rolling in his grave, he founded IBC and they had a good run up until the 1990's. Weber's/Millbrook was a strong division, Dolly, well I've always known that bread was a necessity, cake a luxury so you can't expect it to do as well.

To: Henderson Dave, Please take your head out of your ass!!! You guys finished off Dolly now you guys have finished off the bread side we can all see how well the STARSHIP HENDERSON has done, another money drain that plant should have been pumping out MILLBROOK/ROMAN MEAL

IBC will not/cannot emerge from the bankruptcy with current upper management. They are incompetent individuals who were given positions only because of their education/degrees. None of them have ever been inside a route truck, used a hand held, ordered product, sold displays, stocked shelves.etc. They are the individuals, however that are making decisions which determine the methods Alvarez uses to fix the problem that they caused. They caused the bankruptcy from years of incompetent management. we all know upper management has initiated the same idiotic ideas years but the experienced route drivers were able to circumvent their methods and continue selling the correct way. There are now enough route drivers who don't know any better or are FORCED to follow the company's guidelines and the sales are constantly decreasing. Even the best route sales people can't overcome stupid management forever. It took a long time for the Tiatanic to sink too! Plusing the wrong product, poor quality, extended shelf life, sales which we order for but never occur, sales which occur which we weren't told about, routes which are difficult to make door times causing late or no service at all.etc, etc, etc.

To Anon in Glendale: You are exactly right ! It would be an interesting read, because of all that has happened the past ten year's . I think it is hilarious that mgt. alway's said they had crooks for employees. Altough the funny thing is that it started at the top and worked its way down the food chain. I once turned in a manager for stealing our DM at the time was very reluctant, even though their was substatial evidence pointing to this individual. I was a mgr. at the time and with the help from a Hostess mgr. , we had this individual relocated to another location. A remote location so he could continue his thieving ways. Needless to say ,the response from Regional mgr. was that he could not believe that a 25 year employee would steal. I told him that , it meant he had been stealing for a long time. You have the anti-trust laws maneuvering. The " massive San Francisco lawsuit", Workman's Comp underfunded by 30-40 million, SEC charges brought against them.....I have the title to the book. " The fall of a great american icon".Then have a Twinkie on the cover with the creme squeezed out of it. the female writer out of the KC star would be the perfect person to write the book. It appears Jennifer Mann " I think" , alway's reported the facts correctly...... I will anxiously await the release in paperback.

Sorry....should have read $3000 route average

DOLLY MADISON WAS ALREADY ON THE ROPES WHEN HOSTESS TOOK OVER DOLLY IN SO. CAL, BEFORE IBC BOUGHT CBC BACK. THERE ROUTE AVERAGE AT TAKE OVER WAS LESS THAN $300 A WEEK. GET IT STRAIGHT PLEASE. CBC WAS NOT THE ONLY REASON FOR IBC GOING DOWN. SHIPPING PRODUCT ALL OVER WEST FROM KANSAS AT ONE TIME WORKED, BUT OVER TIME WAS CRAZY. TRANSPORTATATION COSTS AND FUEL HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ROOF. SELLING DOLY MADISON FOR LOW-LOW PRICES IS STUPID ALSO. HECK, I SAW DUNKIES ON SALE AT A STORE CHAIN THE OTHER DAY FOR 10/$10. HOW DUMB IS THAT? IT STILL GOES ON TODAY.

hey chicken shit in st. louis call lewis or harts in memphis and they will tell you they are dist routes backed by lewis bakeries not the company before wilkersons. thats a fact chicken shit you do not know what you r talking about. it is people like you that has caused this co in bk

to know it all in memphis The Lewis routes havent been distributor routes for 5 years . Once again you dont know what you are talking about.

To Razz: Boy you and me should get together and write a book about the down fall of IBC? or at least the down fall on the west coast. Add to your story that the Millbrook division stuggled after losing the Weber label but everyone thought everything would be ok because supposely CBC Pomona bakery was making money hand over fist. But after the the merging of CBC and IBC the sales and profits just did not add up? no one could figure it out until finally everything pointed to Cooper and he was turning in bogus figures so that all those CBC boys would max out with their Bonuses year after year, but bean counters finally caught up with Cooper and he was booted out for cooking the books. Its a wonder (excuse the punn) that the SEC doesn't make IBC restate how much the Pomona bakery massaged the figures to get all that Bonus money back from Managers who are still employed.

Isn't it amazing , that the truth about IBC is finally coming out??? I cannot believe these blowhard guy' s actually thought that the "truth" would not come sooner or later...Rising labor costs, rising operating costs, rising union costs. Say what you want , contract or no contract. Remember Glendale??? Bimbo has no union , so enjoy life while you can. Hopefully, your close to retirement. The funny thing is that the union guy's thought they had it in the bag. I told everyone that they needed to look for another job. Oh, why waste my breathe , other than I told you so. Get out now, oops I mean yesterday.....................................Touchdown Tony has scored again.........I think I will buy that smart cat a margarita after all.

To Lagendorf, LA: Name: Langendorf 62nd Street Depot Date: 2007-01-26 Location: Location:Los Angeles, CA (Dolly) Comment: I remember sharing as a Langendorf and Dolly Madison driver sharing shelf space with Hostess and having my product suspiciously damaged every now and then, not to mention shelf space encroachment... I think another problem for IBC came in the form of BIMBO Bakeries, IBC was forced to give up the Weber's label to Good Stuff (Four-S) which was a cash cow, some of these Weber's guys would start at 6:00 am and be done before noon! This was all due to anti-trust legislation and rulings, but when BIMBO bought Good Stuff (Four-S) and subsequently the west coast divisions of OROWEAT/Entenmann's/Old Country/Boboli/Thomas', there were no anti-trust issues to be found with that transaction, no siree Bob! Sure, the boys running IBC ran her into an iceberg full speed, but there were other circumstances at work...who know, maybe everyone is in cahoots with Bimbo. All I know is all was very well for me at Langendorf, quite well, we pretty much only served 7-11's, mom & pops, and some vending or catering outlets and very few grocery stores while our brothers on the bread side (Barbara Ann) were almost strictly restaurants, schools, hospitals and some grocery stores...what a shame it all had to end... Guess what? The same thing happened in Texas. Different circumstances, but the same result. Twinkieland did not have smart enough lawyers to figure out the anti-trust law's. The real truth is that the downfall of IBC started with this problem . I have brought up this point before. Everyone laughed at Bimbo , but give them credit for outsmarting their American counterparts. It is like you said , that it goes deeper than what alot of people think. Bimbo has cheap labor and is not afraid to expand. They have money to burn. Also, they have the foresight to know that trends in America are going "Hispanic". I had a special project to collect Bimbo products and send them off for IBC to inspect. I did my work diligently, but never heard the results of my findings. I can only laugh , because they came up with an hispanic version year's later.That is why I think it is so funny , now that Bimbo is about to go head to head with Flower's .They had California and Texas markets to realize that they needed to cater to the hispanic market . Shame on them for blowing it ..........................

to what ever your chicken shit name is in st.louis we know lewis owns the harts label. we would like to know whats going own. lewis has dist routes selling harts in memphis

Hi Pipe, Remember me?

Langendorf 62nd Street Depot : is correct!! Lets not let the Good Ole Boys from WONDER/HOSTESS re-write IBC history You said it in the 80's and 90's we pumped load after load of quality WEBER'S and ROMAN MEAL out of this place where did those sales go? they killed the best brand in Southern California and replaced it with poor quality crap........

IBC didn't bankrupt American Bakeries, They didn't bankrupt Continental. IBC ran strong through the 1980's and early 1990's. American was split up, we Langendorf guys dovetailed into Dolly Madison, and later IBC sold the Dolly label in So. Cal to Continental taking our seniority with the transaction. Sometime later, IBC came back and bought Hostess and the rest of the Continental Cancer. Even during the time we were Continental Hostess drivers, Weber's/Millbrook (although judging by their loads they should have been called Weber's/Roman meal because it seemed like half the truck was Weber's White and the other half Roman Meal with a sprinkling of Millbrook!) seemed to be doing pretty well. By the way, I carried Langendorf-Mickey/Dolly at one time, and later Hostess Dolly with no problem, (though both Langendorf and Dolly Madison were slowy phased out). The real problems started IBC merged with CBC. As an IBC Dolly Driver, things were o.k. when we were sold to CBC Hostess, man what a nightmare that was, all of the rumors of the bad management came true in an instant. Once we merged back to IBC, that same messed up mentality that pervaded CBC started to drag down IBC. But, for me, happily retired now for almost 4 years, having started with Langendorf back in 1979, the demise of the Route Sales heck the baking industry, started back in the late 1980's when after being sold by American to Good Stuff, we started experimenting with the handhelds, THAT is where this industry started to go down hill. These college kids (who have no clue what running a route entails) started running the companies, wanted to run a route from their office in Kansas City or St. Louis, this was the turning point where the control of the route started to slip through the routeman's grip.

Turn around starts 1-26-07. We start delivering to Menards

To RSR: Shh !!! Everyone knows except Twinkieland employees. Just get ready to purchase a Spanish dictionary...That is why they have not named a new CEO.Comprende'???

we have 60 new iszu box trucks with hostess,bimbo,kk,little debbie,harts decals on them. would someone let us know whats going on

Any short times out there???

lets not start suck'n each others d!cks just yet!!!! Bimbo is still just a rummer....

Name: d m Date: 2007-01-24 Location: Location:Charlotte, NC Comment: we only got 20 new trucks to be held, also with hostess,bimbo,kk.the space in wal-marts is to go something like this hostess 2 faceings on 4 shelfs back to reg retail not 2/5also dolly 4ft up and down items will come from wal-mart,bluebird 4ft,ent 2ft,mrs freshleys 4ft,bimbo 8ft with 2 displays, otis 2ft. the sets did not have little debbie in it Little Debbie in Texas had 8-10 feet in most Walmart SC. I guess they will get their own section? Customers will scream, if they cannot get their Little Debbie...Also, since they are direct shipping Dolly, isn't it amazing that Hostess only get's 2Ft. Hostess should get 3-4ft. mininum , but I guess at full price, we know how it sells. Bimbo buying out IBC is an intersting move to say the least. The funny thing is Dolly ends up with the most space and not Hostess. Even at full price Hostess outsells Dolly, but it will be interesting to see if Dolly will be 2/$5.00. Once again Wally World dictates to the consumers, what they want , not what the consumers want.HA , Ha, Ha...

Heard through the grapevine that Terry Vincej is leaving the Slauson bread plant. Anybody know what happen or reason he's leaving? He use to be the Production Manager at the Glendale Bakery.

yah- and leslie was there spankin it with a thumb up his ass

ever heard the story of when twinkBOY squezzed the twinkie filling on his cousins penis then licked it off, thats how he got the name twinkBOY

we only got 20 new trucks to be held, also with hostess,bimbo,kk.the space in wal-marts is to go something like this hostess 2 faceings on 4 shelfs back to reg retail not 2/5also dolly 4ft up and down items will come from wal-mart,bluebird 4ft,ent 2ft,mrs freshleys 4ft,bimbo 8ft with 2 displays, otis 2ft. the sets did not have little debbie in it

Since Bimbo is buying us out, I have a question?Will I get his cake space in my Walmart are will Bimbo get mine?Bimbo has more cake space there than I have for my Hostess and Sweet 16s!!!! Thanks

Razz is correct, thats how it went down, Wow lets merge then compete against our selves with products for 10 years

Why would you expect anything less? Look whats running the Dept!! hope you guys all enjoy the vacation..........we are free from the coconut

No bimbo decals- stop that rumor.

Spolet....I don't know you but I can verify that your last post is 100% correct.

we have new 62 2007 trucks parked in a warehouse old sams club in atlanta with hostess, bimbo,krispy kreme decals on them. company said trucks will be on routes in may or june

This place is like a comedy of errors, we never do the right thing, we always figure the hardest way to get anything done, and when the job does get finished everyone is stabbing each other in the back to take credit for doing it? Amazing, its like reading the sunday comics, you laugh a little and cry a lot.

Whats the hold up on annoucing our new CEO? Is HR still doing back ground checks or are we waiting for the drug test to come back? Either way this guy must be the bottom of the CEO barrel, or this is the last job he could find. You all have to admit our track record for picking CEO's is not the best.

bimbo buying us is about the best thing that could happen. but I think they're a little smarter then that. !VIVA BIMBO!

We had dolly on the hostess trucks right after the sale. Also had JJ Nissan Large cakes and Bread together. And of course the 23 dollar fruitcakes for wal-mart that were sold for 3 dollars in the thrift stores after they were charged and staled off the hostess routes. Hence the moniker GENERAL FRUITCAKE was born. His baby until Wal-mart cancelled it to the tune of tens of thousands of them. Stacked up in the depots for months. Plussed out and staled into the thrift stores. Got to be you couldn't mention the word FRUITCAKE in his presense. Don't know how he kept his job. Still works for the company. You know me niteshade? Spolet

I know Bro

To Los Angeles (Hostess): Hostess/ Bimbo decals for 2007 trucks? That would be typical IBC operating procedures. They alway's let information leak before people should know . I will make a memo and email it to Tony. Maybe, he can get some cajones ,and fire some of these imbeciles...Ha, Ha, Ha....

To bhbbc or niteshade: Do either of you know the truth of the demise of Twinkieland? All that I remember is that IBC bought/merged Hostess and Dolly Madison circa 1994-95. This made national news in the baking industry. It appeared at the time , that it was IBC merging these companies together. I do know that IBC was the sole owner of these two companies albeit with outstanding stock waiting to mature???Also, I remember that we temporarily had Hostess routes carry Dolly Madison products under the Hostess label . Although, Dolly routes never carried hostess products under the Dolly label. I never knew if that was stopped , because of Anti-trust Law's or because the Teamster's did not want the Hostess routes to carry out these items, because it was not part of the contracts. Also, was Wonderbread part of the deal or was it on a state by state operation. I do know one thing, and that is when IBC bought Wonder/Hostess/Dolly Madison , it went downhill from there. All I saw was infighting within the company. Tony inherited one big mess! I do not care personally , one way or another , but it was reported that IBC bought Wonder/Hostess. Some people thought it was the other way around.....Like the IRS , try ing to figure out this mess is incomprehensible.

Ya all can't really believe everything you read do you? After all we can neither confirm nor deny anything here in the mental institution.

Re: Making an opening for family members. Little do you know that this runs deeper then you think. Just look at the Koufore boys?

we have got new trucks in 2007 models box trucks with decals on them with hostess,bimbo iam a shop sup. i asked my boss about it he said no one is to find out about it .

a few lables and plants have been sold to lewis bakeries,nickles bakery,klosterman bakeries. the only thing that will be left for ibc is hostess cakes

Trucker Joe: well said. I've worked production and shipping for a lot of years and now we have these two dudes at night that seem to be running a muck. They seem to be getting all the changes they want, why are these people doing what they say? If the management really cared about this place, why don't they ask some of us who know instead of listening only to those 2 dudes?

Nepotism alive and well in IBC land

The Family is still intact. Big Tulsa, ya know we're sworn to secrecy.

Ask anyone how Steve does a 3 hr job in 10 hrs. If Steve M did not have the job it would not be a 10 hr job. Kind of causes some morale problems

Looks like Jay made a job for his worthless Brother again. You all need to contact GO and ask why this job was not bid. Whats in it for the bugman. More money More alocohol for Steve.

I think none of you know what happened to IBC. IBC was good little company that was doing just fine with it's backward little ways and dimwitted management but Chuck the crook got greedy and he seen this big baking company that had been raped by a basturd dogfood company and after Ralston Purina hired all the Frito Lay dipshits and let them play boss for a while they decided to "SELL" and I use the term loosely because IBC gave mostly stock for CBC and the dogfood company is still sitting back pulling the strings and laughing thier asses off at the mess they have made of everything. If you don't believe it sometime when you have a couple of years start tracking down who really owns all these investment companys that own IBC stock - surprize! Right back to Checker Board Square.

has anyone heard of the selling of homepride and beefsteak brands? lots of rumors about it.

Name: sr Date: 2007-01-22 Location: Location:Tulsa, OK Comment: Anonymous Decatur, You know not of what you speak...... IBC bought CBC and American and IBC burried CBC and American. When CBC was taken over by IBC they only took 2 vice presidents from CBC. The rest were let go. What you see is soley on the back of IBC Who cares who dragged who down we are all in the same boat now and we are sinking. Go waste some energy selling or making product.

You Are correct but it was the all the CBC shit heads down the food chain that destroyed the real IBC .........The worst thing that ever happened was WONDER BREAD and Twinkies...........we could be happy with butternut eddy's weber's zingersNO!!!!!! we needed a national brand........look at us now poor quality still competing with ourselves on a daily basis shelf by shelf

Anonymous Decatur, You know not of what you speak...... IBC bought CBC and American and IBC burried CBC and American. When CBC was taken over by IBC they only took 2 vice presidents from CBC. The rest were let go. What you see is soley on the back of IBC

I was going to by a route, But I have changed my mind. I am going to by some of that $2.20 stock today.

I still smell Chapter 7

To Brutis....... IBC hasnt damaged some of the strongest brands in the business. The Old Continental management that came with those strongest brands has done it. Think about it. They bankrupted American bakeries They bankrupted Continental, And now they did the job on iBC> Theres one common factor here...... The same people have run each company. Think about it.

Del Taco what ya gonna do while your Master is on vacation? his bitch is gonna screw ya good

oT eikniwt yob: yaw oot etal !!! yeht od ton teg ti. ooT etal..................

PIPE-No wonder we are going broke,Just 4 cakes on the shelve of each kind...i always wondered why we had to keep backrooms full of cake....Yall aint ordering enough.

pipe- keep up the good work! you've got 3 displays whoopdy-fuckin-doo! what would you do if you had more then five stores? say maybe about 20 major accounts and some dumb-fuck dsm ordering product for all of them even the ones who don't give you displays? I'll make a lot of $ the first three weeks. then give it all back when it comes time to pick up the returns.

100 calorie cakes what a joke once again we are hopping on the band wagon way to late. remember low carb bread

oT ccbbhb: eseht sloof kniht CBI si gniog ot eb devas yb araS eeL . Ah, maerd no , ti si ton annog neppah...

our dm has a fit if we have cake in back room.............no more than 4 on the shelf.........with the exception of sweet 16's or specials

Sacramento Distribution department is a *uckin' joke. The foremen are butt suckers and the management is Distribution has no clue. They keep coming and going whenever they want and if not for a certain couple of Transport Foremen, the ship would sink. What a pathetic situation. I've been a driver here for 10 years and this is the most embarrassing this department has been in. A couple years ago, the holiday planning between transports and shipping had everything running to a "T". I wish D.L. would have never been hired, thx Francine. That was the beginning of the end. Oh well, I'll just keep on running my 3 stop, 8 hour milk job and retire.

the DM in huntsville dont think we order enough cake, must have at least one rack in back room or on the truck

Why would Sara Lee or anyone want to buy IBC? The smart move would be to continue to let IBC self destruct and take their space and accounts. IBC has managed to damage some of the strongest brands in the baking business to the point where the value of the brand is diminished.

REVERB-THATS WHAT YOU THINK,WAIT TILL THE CAKE STARTS COMING!!!!

Zzar or Razz wannabe...you got wayyyyyyyyyyyyy toooo much time on your hands.

BIRMINGHAM-I THINK YOUR STALE ESTIMATES ARE WAY TOO LOW,$1000 ARE MORE LIKE IT!!!

Speaking of 100 calories cakes,our DM in Huntsville market is ordering 20 trays for every major store on out route. some routes have 6 or 7 major stores, what another $200.00 in stalea day

Zzar....Your comments are quite difficult to read. It's almost as if they are written backwards or something.

You can be a fire captain and a mechanic at the same time.

REVERB....NEVER WIN WITH THE NEW 100 CAROLIE CAKES....NO SPACE...ANOTHER BAKER'S INN.

I agree, in today's market we have a winner!

I'm really looking forward to the new 100 calorie cakes........i feel like the danish they have a good chance at Pastry of the Year!

Spolet....Am I jealous? You betcha!

Here in NJ the fund is managed by the Locals fund manager and the trustees. For the last 10 years we are funded to the erisa standards and have not seen an increase or a decrease in the pension amounts. While a lot of companies including the state of NJ, underfunded their pensions during the boom in the 90's our local collected its contributions and invested same. Yes we lost a little in 2000 but not enough to change the pension numbers. Spolet

Who cares if Kansas City is reading these post? I hope they take the good with the bad and correct past mistakes.

How is it that after being away fromIBC for 2 weeks,today I get a call from a former account that I serviced that are having service issues and the blame for the problems were placed on me by my former Division Mgr,Mike Owens.I gave them a 2 weeks notice to work out any kinKs but they let me go as soon as they could fill the route...DONT BLAME ME ANYMORE!!!!

Getting Short, Years have turned into months. Soon it will be just weeks and then days. Then I'll kick away the blues. Uniforms that is. How you doing Niteshade? Spolet

Del Taco where are you????????

RE: What happened to Honey Oat Bread Cant find it in our stores anymore Chardon, Ohio 44024 sorry they ran out of bags buy homepride

who/what is (Dave)nport?

Changes changes changes. How about making little changes? Before you make any big changes I hope you "really" explored your options. What you are trying to achieve can be done with one small change.

GO STOCKS! GO STOCKS!!

GO SAINTS

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS RULE KICK THAT INDY ASS

Greg Annon -Sara Lee CAN BUY MORE ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SELL A LITTLE EXTRA UNDERWEAR....WHAT DOES IBC HAVE TO FALL BACK ON.....THATS IT .....NOTHING

It's about time you company route drivers buy your own routes. We at Flowers having been doing tthis for years!!!!!!!!

I am what I ate

Sara Lee insider Can you spell, I ,A-M,A,-S-T-U-P-I-D- P-E-R-S-O-N. Sara Lee,lacks the money to buy anything..R-E-A-D- SaraLee yearly report--S-T-U-P-I-D

Hey Oakland: I am what I eat.. WREEEEEEEE

Del Taco your not suppossed to post on here from your computer in the parts room while Ruiz is over your shoulder egg'in you on stupid ass.

By not honoring contracts with your employees and deliberately and repeatedly breaking contract agreements such as using outside carriers to haul your product when you have employees sitting at home waiting for a call to workand etc. you are not just breaking the contract but destroying the trust and ulitmately causing by your own actions the refusal of all the drivers to accept your new contract purposal and fight you and the union to the end by refusing to vote it into action.Even if the union tries to force it we will not submit and if need be replace the union with one who will support us .The union works for us not the other way around , dont ever forget.

it is true a number of plants are going to sara lee,lewis bakeries,holsum in az,private eq firm. just bread plants cakes will stay with ibc which routes will be sold off

Stan Socia got put in his place this week he is a butt munch

it's 1:30.............i am headed in now, i'll be back home about 4:00.It's a long day but the money is good!

Sara Lee insider? You must be mistaken, they keep tell us that the cake side of operation is where we make all the money and the rest of it comes from the Bakers Inn products. Mr. Alvarez said so himself, could he be lying to us to make us feel all warm and cozy? Or it must be business as usual and don't tell them anything or offer any information.

let me add to twinkie the kids comment, the hours are long, sales manegment does not care at all, just get more, nothing is ever good enough, you get displays everywhere and the bitch about the flow of products on the display. Our 2 dm's our always on routes and can never help, our sales manager has to fly into his area because he lives 6 hours. Most of us have just said fuck it........they can fire us, but they wont because then there lazy fat asses might have to actually work. Ya......we could probably do more but whats the point.....this company does not give a shit about any of us. Get what you can and move on........ Happy in the northwest..........GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oui,Suck!!!!

Wait , you get home open the bag and throw away the loaf?? I think thats what 99% of the consumer's do with our products also.......

The Bakers Inn looks worse now with this folded down flap. You guys keep F-ing around with this variety and it will go away real fast. Just put it in a plastic bread bag like everyone else. Quit trying to make something more then it is by putting it in a paperbag. First thing I do when I get home is take it out of the paperbag and throw it away. Get rid of this paper sack and lower the price.

Nissan Titan's are for pussy's

all of you pussies shut up and buy your routes! you bitch when we had all of the pl accts and said we need to get out of pl now we are butt you are bitching . shut the fuck up you stupid fuckers

You guys losing your private label accounts, start looking for a new job unless you have seniority. That was the first step toward the end here in the northwest. Next thing you'll lose is costco then fast-food accounts. Then they will eliminate bread all together, and if you're lucky you'll get a cake route. It only took about a year from start to finish here. 200 people got laid off, they closed bread bakery and now those that are left have cake routes with 50+ stops. Good $$ but long hours. They have done this excact thing in other areas too. the worst thing about it is your accounts will know about it before you do. I found out about it from a sara lee driver six months before it happened.(but thought it was just a bullshit rumor) IBC notified us about five months later. Good luck.

IBC HAS WALKED AWAY FROM MAJOR PL ACCOUNTS SINCE THE BANKTRUPSY....JUST ASK THE PLANTS IN THE CAROLINAS,FLORIDA AND OUR PLANT THAT SERVICED WALMARTS IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA. NO ACCOUNT IS SAFE!!!!

out of all the rumors I heard, I never heard anything about mrs. bairds taking over, all sara lee

OUCH!! (loss of AWG) would be like loosing SuperValu in our areas. But based on what I read, would not be unusual for the account manager to sway an ol;d account to switch - new job, new promises, better pricing, better perks to be offered to a new large customer - (i.e. more golf and discounts)

AWG stands for Associated Wholesaler Grocers. They are major buying group located in the Midwest and supply the majority of the stores located through-out the Midwest. Not only major Branded Products but Private Label as well (Best Choice, Save Always, etc). If they walk away from the private label produced by IBC the affect will be Millions from the bottom line. It will also have a direct impact on our space within these stores, Private Label producer is given the best/largest space and positioning in the bread isle. If AWG pulls, we in theory will cut over 100 routes in this area alone.

another GREAT day...$1997 in sales only $186 in stale

what does awg stand for? and where is it from?

AWG is pulling out of IBC and going with Mrs. Bairds. Reason, when IBC fired the account manager that was controlling this account they forgot he was in bed with AWG management. Now Mark has found a new job and guess what he is re-contacting his old accounts/friends and is stealing away our accounts. Can you blame him, NO, Smith screwed him over so now it is payback time. AWG will not be the only account to bale on IBC in Kansas and Missouri. So to the rest of you, time to start looking for a new Job - this one is going away quickly.

I wouldn't be suprised if Associated went with Sara Lee. Atleast they don't put out the crap we do. If that's the case Lenexa is doomed. When 60% of your products or maybe even more are private label you are in some pretty sick shape

IBC Theives are well protected indeed.......... Anyone ever hear of anything happening to Chuck Sullivan.......?

Heard several rumors that sara lee is taking over some AWG accounts and are adding 8 routes, I always thought if this company lost it's label accounts it's done for.

This locations HR manager said Twinkies. org is free speech so post away.

To U TOTEM : Twinkieland cannot touch you ! This is not a company sponsored website. Also, there is not anything that would cover this in the employee rules and regulations. Personally, I think Twinkieland is yanking your chain. I would check with your local labor board , or better yet ask a labor lawyer. I would ask the simple question of " what rule or regulation you are violating."Why do you think this board is here? It is to keep them in check from their past misdeeds. I.E. check San Francisco lawsuit. Good Luck. Oh by the way "get some Cajone's..............

Performance Review: ((((()))))))((((())))) Unbelivable , incredible, mind boggling does well with feet I think we'll keep him

YES TOTEM.....WE ARE WATCHING YOU.....HR DEPT

From we are hearing the new CEO is a personal friend of Tony A. Great the good ole boy network has gone international and IBC is doomed to continue to fail. Different name but same old crooks.

Del Taco stick to things your good at like suckin your buddie Ruiz's ass. Did you guys get your "call in sick" routine figured out for the next time your a no call no show? I'll say it to your face when I get back to work pussy

In our hunt for a new CEO. The ad says that you do not have to have any knowledge or experience in the baking industry. With that in mind remember we will not be getting the best candidate for the job, we will settle for second or third or lower to be our new leader. His first order of business is to cut 25% of the top jobs or butt kisser.

keep it up laughing all the way to the bank right after I drag your asses through the legal system cha-ching

Did someone say we are talking to prospective CEO from Pepsi?

IBC will not fire you if you are in the Union. Even if you steal from the company like so many of us here at the Glendale plant have. We have a strong Union here and we are protected very well. Mike Colon

All is well in shipping! Where oh where have you gone shipping control when we need you now.

Can IBC find out the employees who post on this site and punish them in any way....I was told today that our HR DEPT was watching the post and we better be careful at what we post....Our Division Mgr told us that today...Is he SERIOUS OR JUST TRYING TO INTIMIDATE US, thanks

hey del taco, hitlerpoff you know me iam mike colon yur ((**)) buddy ha ha

HEY RATFEAL.....FUCK YOU. WORK WHO YOU FAGGOT BITCH. I'LL TELL YOU TO YOUR FACE TO GO BACK TO MEXI- HO PUSSY WHINER. I'LL SMASH THAT TACO IN YOUR FACE AND POUND A BURRITO IN YOUR ASS. HOW'S THAT TACO.....SOFT OR CRUNCHY? SOFT...JUST LIKE YOU. WHHHHAAAAA........I THINK I'M GOING TO CRY NOW. JUST OFF , JUMPING BEAN

With the Holiday's over watch for another slug of Managers to leave in "2007" This is taking its toll on IBC due to these new people always in training and trying to learn their jobs for the next 6-12 months.

This new Flour sack fold on the Bakers Inn bread looks good if I could get every loaf looking the same or is it suppose to look crooked and not square. You people nee to go out and take a look at how a sack of flour is actually folded and sealed?

members of managemant should not be Teamster's. some at IBC have no concept of how to manage people. every memo out of the "big office" should not be threatening your job and your work ethic. so many good worker's, and probably life long Teamster's have moved on to other job's because of the "threats" and beauracracy. used to be someone had to die or retire in order to get a job here...now the turn-over is frequent and fast. now we hire people and even when it is evident they "ain't cuttin' it" we keep them; because we're in a bind. this just pours gas on the fire of IBC's bankrupcy...this is no way to emerge!!!!hire good people and keep them with top pay, good benefits and a positive work environment. I'M TIRED OF THE THREAT'S.

first of all my name is not del taco. It's Del Haro, shit head. 2nd if you have balls to post then put your name on your post (pussy) but i know you wont because your the little rat that ratted me out. better yet tell me to my face and see what happens. I bet you don't have the balls to do that either.. I'am sorry that i have to work people like you....

Can IBC find out the employees who post on this site and punish them in any way....I was told today that our HR DEPT was watching the post and we better be careful at what we post....Our Division Mgr told us that today...Is he SERIOUS OR JUST TRYING TO INTIMIDATE US, thanks

With all of the crap that this PC puts out it still a wonder that we are still in business. And this time I am not talking about the products - but rather the crap out of the PC office. We have a VP who can not find his butt in the dark. And a sales manager who will not stand up to this dic*less wonder but rather let him run rampid around our sales areas. Sooner or later they will fire him for his stupidity I just do not plan on being around. I am going to Sara Lee in 2 weeks and no I will not give notice but just rather not show up I do not need your reference anyway. This company has become the laughing stock of the industry

Hey Tony A. Why dont you not come to Chicago anymore and state these facts about shooting my type. Go to he$$ you overpaid jacka$$. The judge should throw your a$$ in jail for the amount of stealing you are doing from this company.

Mike, What should I pay for a 2004 Titian LE Crew C. 25,000 miles,tow pkg......

A long time employee recently left to go to another Baking Company...In leaving he didnt even get a call from the District Manager,wasnt even asked to stay or why he was leaving.All he got was a phone call from the District Manager.He turned in a 2 weeks notice and was allowed to work 3 days till they were able to fill the route with an extra-man.And then let go after running a route on Saturday...Very tacky by management...Management said he was let go and did not try to keep him beceause he was a trouble maker...But all this man did was not let management run over the newer RSRs...Now out of 7 routes in our depot a man with 1 year with IBC is the senior man....WONDER WHO WILL STAND UP FOR US NOW????

Damn glad Chris is back!!!

hey twink dickless boy i have benn in the south (ga,fl,tn) contracting routes i will be up your way soon dickless!

THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE HOLIDAY OFF....SURE DID ENJOY SLEEPING IN THIS MORNING!!!!

The Ruiz and Halopoff show tune in next week for a new adventure! I hear this show will be canceled soon........Right Dick Willson!!!!

Dont you just love these Federal Holidays. Here I sit drinking my coffee and scaniong the paper and internet, all the while my little peons (IBC Workforce) is out working and earning pennies. Hey why dont we just shoot a few more of these types, (Blacks/Niggers) and we can have the full week off. Nice break after the stress of the year end blitz.

good job hitlerpoff giving george a week off to look for a new job your plan worked. get rid of the ones that know the job and replace them with complete and total morons such as yourself. " shit for brains "!!!!

I love you jay!!! your my hero!! really!!

hey niteshade, good to see you're still around...

Hey Robert, who has a tighter ass hole?-Mike Owens or Chris Kirby, or are you always to drunk to tell? Go to an AA meeting you fucking piece of shit-I hope you rot in hell you limp dick son of a bitch!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to another day of shitty bread that was delivered Sat. for Mon. Hey Robert Sewell why dont u get out of the bed with Mike Owens and get to doing something you sorry low life, dick sucking, mother fucking, piece of shit!!!!!!!!!

NO TWINKBOY....Not a new guy....Someone who has seen the writing on the wall and is tired of it all....

Hey Jay, got a cllue to what's going on in YOUR shipping dept.? You have orderfillers on AM who won't bother to get their average, and defy management, a leadman job was created for someone who has never been anything other than a floater and drinking buddy, you have a leadman who goes around shipping having quarter-pitching tournaments on company time, a supervisor who entertains a leadlady from production in his office while she is supposed to be working, your hog feed person doing nothing (especially not throwing hog feed), a truck loader sneaking out to smoke a joint between trucks, forklift drivers unhooking the backup beepers--need more or do you get the idea Jay.

It takes a lot to get me to post anything here anymore but twink boy has accomplished this feat. In this free society we live in why would you stay with this company when you clearly can't handle the working conditions? The hours were crappy and the days off were split when you took the job. But you say IBC sucks because they make you work those hours? Get yourself a nine -to- five office job where the climate is controlled and the breaks are regular. Or you can stay and make more money than the average college graduate. It's your choice.

we don't know why the people from the chicago area don't post here more often. we believe it is because they are being intimidated into not doing so. the north central p.c. is one of the worst in the country. the management structure here is shit, the facilities suck and the vehicles are some of the worst in the country. our route was pulled averageing 6800/wk with 3% stale almost two years ago. we finally got tired of the bullshit and left. we would not recommend anyone to apply to i.b.c. for a job, or any current employee to even consider this p.c. if it is bad where you are, it's probobly worse here...

Any one out there bought a route yet?

Who's this optimistic guy in Birmingham, AL must be a new guy. Try getting up at 1 am and working 60 hour weeks withsplit days off, It starts to piss you off. IBC SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

In today's Times newspaper published in northwest Indiana, 2 help-wanted ads by IBC. The first, they are looking for a Maintenance Supervisor and the second ad, they are looking for Sales Reps. For three years, I've watched this site, and you read about is all the turmoil in the other PC's elsewhere. The long hours, the terrible quality of the product, the poor equipment, the poor management team, the lousy contracts, etc.. Chicagoland must be the place to be employed because you hardly or if at anytime read about these conditions. Anybody interested in relocating go to: www.nwitimes.com, classifieds. Or go to: smith_marie@interstatebrands.com

Re: The reason all your bakeries are failing AIB audits is because. Thank G-D at least somebody has a plan!!! We have 3 here at Glendale that meet the I don't have a clue about anything but fuckin people around, HR and Engineering you know who you are!

quality of bread is looking good, cakes are great! keep up the good work! Salesmen sell by planned order it works!

To bhbbc: " When you say IBC, you've said it all."

What I'm wondering is if they sell the routes, what financial intitution or underwriter in their right minds would make these unsecured loans with the company in such bad shape? A work of warning to all of you that might buy your routes. If it involes you putting up your house a collateral. Run , don't walk away from this!

Will IBC sell me my $4000 route or do I need to start looking for a another job.

Just because company is making money in a area, doesn't mean they won't think twice about selling the routes, I've seen them pull the route running the most money off the street , when they consolidate routes, and divide the stops among the routes in that depot. Only to see them lose sales because the routemen did not service of those stops properly. Perfect example, combination of Hostess and Dolly on one truck, their not getting route averages they expected.

hey Razz. god to hear from you. we remember your posts about the selloff. we always knew that some way i.b.c. would screw everyone. if they can't screw you as an employee, they will try to screw you as an I.D. you knw, there are many people who are holding out hope that the company will recover. that is admirable. hope is a good thing, but reality is a motherfucker. i.b.c dosen't have too much left and that includes time. selling off routes is a way to get a quick cash influx, get some stuff done, and screw whoever is left. these routes are not a good idea. don't think twice, think three times...

The reason all your bakeries are failing AIB audits is because your Corporate Sanitarian asked AIB for the toughest inspectors they could send. It is a conspiracy so they can get rid of some of their long term employees and not have to pay severance. Also to make room for their divisional guy who got demoted to make room for Greg Wilkerson

WILL THE ROUTES BE SOLD????? If your PC is making money, then they wot be sold. If your PC is in the red and has been forever and has been deemed hopeless, then they probably will sell the routes. IBC will then make money in that area. They will sell product to you. Look at where all the rumors are coming form about routes being sold. Areas where the company is losing big money. Look at the area where they have already signed contracts with the Teamsters; areas where they are making money. The answer to that question is simple.

cake& bread routes will be sold . you will listen to the company and make lots of money

What Is wrong with all of you people?Cant we all just get along?There is so much hatred on this board...Let's all get together and get along and make IBC the greatest company again...Just cause management is stealing IBC blind we as RSRs need to pull together...Together we can do it.

Is this just cake routes that are being sold or bread, too? Ran into a bread supervisor and asked about the selling of routes and he said not in Chicago.

Let me get this straight. They are going to ask us to buy the route and equipment, from an old inadequate company, that has no guidance, no direction and no willingness to compete with the current marketing strategies? All I can say is, "If the free, give me 3"

Really original bhbbc: Hello!!!! I am just being sarcastic , but these imbeciles think , that they were just let out of prison. I have constantly preached this. Remember, I was honest , and tried to tell it like it is . Oh wait!!! Then some imbecile from Glendale came on here calling me gay. Just because I told him that the company was going to either sell it off bit by bit , or go distributorship.He got his panties in a wad. Guess what? It is all coming full circle, for IBC now. See ya Cal! "Smilin' in the End".Go see www.myspace.com/reospeedwagon

Wanted: Sign swinger part time Corner of Allen Ave. and San Fernando Rd.

Could someone please post the adress and phone# to the HR dept in Kansas City.....THANKS

Get a life loser !

Alert! Alert! A CEO has been found! I told you we have turned the corner.

to all who are looking to buy their own route: be very careful. if you buy a route, pay for it up front and i.b.c. goes belly up, you lose your money, lose your accounts, (where will you get product?) and all you will have left will be the piece of shit truck you buy from them. if you finance your route and i.b.c. goes belly up, you will still be liable for that loan (i.b.c. already got their money from the bank). make sure that you guys read those agreements very, very carefully. hire a good attorney to scrutinize every last letter in the agreement. it seems i.b.c. is too interested in selling off routes as independent distributorships. it has happened in other areas of the buisness world and the ones left with their dick in their hand are the poor suckers. remember Enron? with the income generated from selling off routes, they can get alot done and then fold, leaving the courts happy and everyone else screwed. think, think, think...

Halopoff your foot fetish is going to get you fired MSC, Bettendorf who else are you harassing? Chemco?

Who's going to load my truck when i buy my route?

pissed off rt ..................................SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A ROBERT SEWELL IN YOUR AREA TOO.....IS YOURS A DRUNK TOO????

Someone tell that sawed off little Shi* of a VP to stay out of my stores. Thanks to Smith now I have more customers really pissed off with me and IBC. The little shi* goes into the store and starts to rearrange my product and then the store manager asks him what he is doing and he states that he is fixing the routeman's errors and lack of product display. What the little shi* was unaware of the store just went thru a reallignment of space and it was being faced and stocked the way the Store Manager requested. Way to go little shi* now I may lose the account a loss of $1750/week. Anyone else you want to piss off, I can not wait for you to show up in the depot so I can kick your a$$ - Damm what a Jacka$$ and he is our VP. Now I understand why IBC is falling apart at the seams - with jerks in management like Smith.

What happens if you buy your route and IBC files chapter 7 ( goes out of business )? How about if all or part of the company is bought by someone else? Remember that when you buy your own route, you are becoming business partners with one of the most unethical and mismanaged companies there is. Be extremely careful!

To Gary G. from Jacksonville, FL: Comment: Have any of you looked back at posts on this site from a few years ago. Boy have things changed. It use to be civil on here. Gary, this is because all of the people who were civil and had any sense at all have all moved on. All you're left with now are a bunch of whiners and selfish "posters"........

I want to buy a route in Los Angeles, Dick W. are you the one fillin your pockets on this deal?

i am buying a route in nashville ! you will not collect ars the company will still do that.. also we will be selling krispy kreme donuts,little debbie. this is a good deal if you are scared of making money go somewhere else. also the codes go from long to 7 days!

There is NO way you will be able to survive on a 20 percent discount. If you're considering a route of your own, you better plan for the worst scenerio, not the best. * What happens when fuel jumps 1-2 dollars a gallon? * Walmant reduces your space. * You blow an engine. * A customer goes BK -$4,000 * Price war, a unit goes from $2 to $1, your discount drops 40 to 20 cents. * You now pay to go on vacation * You are now the loader, sanitor, owner, office clerk, mechanic, oh yea routeman. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL.

I WORK IN HUNTSVILLE AL, AND AM JUST WONDERING SINCE WE GET HALF OF MONDAYS BREAD IN ON FRIDAY NIGHTS TRANSPORT,CAN I JUST START ORDERING MONDAY'S BREAD ON SATURDAY AND TAKE MONDAY OFF,

routes to be sold (distributorships) in north east ,announcement cumming soon.grab ur money and RUN.

They want to know why we call in so much> it's because we're out looking for another job. They can't give raises because they're broke, yet maintenance got one and they couldn't put a chain back on a bike. We're fed up. I've even heard a couple in production managment have had enough and are looking. FUCK IBC. I wish another bakery would be built in this town just so I could go to work for them and watch this plant fade away.

Have any of you looked back at posts on this site from a few years ago. Boy have things changed. It use to be civil on here.

(((((()))))))((((((())))))) I placed an order with MSC she said she was in bare feet.........I love my position I'm a sick fuck MH

Robert Sewell u suck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Andy seen any good movies lately?

The main reason why they want the Distributors is the fact they (IBC Mgt) can record the plusses as sales and not worry about the stale credits the books a week later. Remember the stale will be maxed out at $10 versus real stale exceeding these limits.

help this company with all the plus we get every weekend. no wonder why this ibc is going down the drain.

IBC must make the dist. routes profitable for the dist. or the program will fail. Nobody will do it for nothing so it is in IBC best interest to make this program work. So far there have been a lot more succeses than failures.

Why do you think having a contract in place will save you from distributorship? IBC has been pissing on contracts for years.

Any of you distributors got any news for us still working for the man? Are you making any $$ ?

We're locked into our crappy contract for 5 more years also so no distributorship here for at least 5 years

SO MUCH FOR STOPPING THE SMAMMERS

JIM, IDONT THINK YOU WANT TO BUY A ROUTE HERE IN HUNTSTSVILLE YOU WILL PROBLY SELL MORE KK DONUTS THAN IBC PRODUCTS....OUTSIDE PURCHASE=LESS COMMISSION.

So you do not believe me, then call Denver and ask them how the old routes now distributors are doing in New Mexica and Arizona. You will be very surprised to hear the truth about how IBC and Smith have screwed them.

bham i am buying a route in april in huntsville. we will be selling krispy kreme also their is talk about selling little debbie products

wow very cool! screw them spam bots

test

We also voted in the extention, but I've been told the company has'nt signed off on it yet. Have you got that signed copy that goes at the end of your contract

No route sale coming. Local 627 signed a 5 year extension of the current contract a few months ago. Not too much to say for the terms of it. But it is an extension. So no routes sold in Peoria for 5 years minimum.

SINCE WE HAVE NOT VOTED ON A NEW UNION CONTRACT SINCE JUNE 06 HERE,DOES THAT MEAN THAT IBC IS PLANNING TO SELL THE ROUTES HERE???THANKS FOR ANY INFO

WHEN ARE THE NEW CAKES COMING OUT???

WHERE ARE OUR POST FROM THE LAST FEW DAYS ????

Lenexa s. mgr. You are so full of s--t not one thing you said was true. Anyone that wants to know call one of these dist. and ask.
