Shipping
Yes McDonalds does ship their own beef, they have an entire fleet of rigs that carries their food stuffs, paper products, etc. from store to store. They have massive central ware houses where items are stored and shipped from according to orders placed each week by the individual location managers.
Like all major fast food companies, Mc Donalds is highly vertically integrated, the control the the design and packaging of all their products, the manufacture of those products and the delivery of those products. They do not I belive have their own cows, or meat processing plants, so the meat they receive is already in patty form shipped from a subcontractor to their ware house. I cannot imagine given all this, that they would ship anything in a garbage truck, especially one that wasn't owned by them.

Why McDonald's doesn't sell onion rings
Comment: I heard that McDonalds does not sell onion rings because because
there are not enough onions to supply the milions of chains that they have. Is this true? It doesn't seem as though it could be.

Then what's the deal with all the french fries? There's no potato shortage even though McDonalds is famous for them.

I have always wondered why McD's never served onion rings. I thought maybe Burger King has exclusive rights amongst the fast food industry. If you think about it Wendys,Arby's,KFC do not serve them either.

My guess is they are more trouble to cook and prepare. And because the rings are all different sizes, quality control on cooking time may present a problem.

They could always do a the processed kind where the onion is chopped up and molded into a ring. Any sorts of fillers could be used. Then size and cooking time could be as standarized as anything else they serve. Not sure about quality.
Sonic has onion rings too.

In theory, yeah. I've been to some really crappy McDonald's. I did work there in high school and the owners who care about their business really keep up with the quality control.
BTW Arby's sells onion petels.

WENDY'S seems to be leaning toward more healthy menu choices like salads, baked potatoes and fruits. I did find site that mentioned Onion Rings on the summer menu of the UK McD's. Can anyone across the pond confirm that? http://snackspot.org.uk/thread.php?story=0607131520fah

I think it has to do with the temperature for the oil. Reaching way back into my memory banks, I think McDs are set up so that they have one fryer for Filet O'Fish, one for Chicken and Chicken Nuggets and the remainder for fries (my McD's had IIRC 4 fryers, so 2 for french fries) and you couldn't fry the other things in the other fryers and have them turn out right. The french fry fryers actually had two temp settings one for hashbrowns and one for fries, which is why hashbrowns aren't available after breakfast. IIRC the griddle also has two temps one for the breakfast foods and one for the lunch foods.
Anyway, I think the other restaurants that do onion rings have their oil set at a temperature that would not cook McDonald's fries the McDonald's way.
