1941Sun (Baltimore) 16 Oct. 7/2 Dairy officials pointed out that the new system would eliminate ‘back trippage of drivers’ and make for ‘straight trippage’. Under the old system, most drivers made early morning deliveries and then, on collection days, repeated the routes to collect the money. The second trip will be eliminated under the daylight delivery system. 1972Daily Tel. 5 Apr. 19/4 If milk distribution costs are to be stabilised, some means must be found to push up the trippage rate [of milk bottles]. 1979Ibid. 6 Aug. 2/6 The average milk bottle makes 23 trips to and from the dairy and customer before it is lost or broken... Bottles are still used because their high trippage more than offsets other costs. |
