[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 575321, member: 22610"] Cover drivers on rural areas would get other drivers to draw maps to remote deliveries on the back of these notes. They were really handy, you could hold one in your right hand against the steering wheel, when you were driving. :) Anyway, a cover driver in our area had left a notice at a rural deliver that wasn't home. (Hey, kids, this was back when we had to get signatures for every stop). Anyway, the customer gets home and sees the note, doesn't read it carefully, and turns it over and here's a detailed map. And...he knows right where the map leads, marked with a big X. Thinking it's a map to where his package is, he gets in the car and follows the map, a few miles to another house, and goes to the door and asks the guy, do you have my package. And, the guy at the house says, no, but I got a package from UPS today. Luckily, that phone number was stamped in red ink on the bottom, and it didn't take long to straighten the misunderstanding out. Hoax, I'll be 54 this fall. [/QUOTE]
