What do you suggest I use to transport 12 oz. cans when I don't need a case at a time?

I use a milk crate. I put any leftover cans in there or when I use my car I pull only what I need and fill up the milk crates. You can find them outside supermarkets at night, sneak over and grab a few.

Another good way of doing it is just to load up a small cooler.

If you buy flats you can transport in 6 pack increments. You can make a case of 4 kinds of soda.

A competitor of mine says he never has loose cans. He stacks his exras in a different column with the tabs facing the opposite direction so he can change this on his next service date. I tried it a few times but I hedge my bets by making sure I don't put in more than the sold out quantity. ie if your machine is three deep and has 7 cans left when it registers sold out then don't put ion more than 7.

I started doing this about a month ago because I got tired of having loose cans in my truck. It works out well. I just put my extras in the next column... on the next service call, I always see the cans that were extra and put them in the correct column. I always have more per selection than will ever run out, so it's okay... no need to worry about someone getting something they didn't intend to buy.
