[QUOTE="soberups, post: 992549, member: 14668"] For the first 24 yrs of my career I had a pig iron route and I definately preferred the cold vs the heat. Now I deliver at altitude, and the biggest challenges I face are in the winter. Pea soup fog, pitch black at 4:45 in the afternoon in December, lousy roads, mud, snow and black ice. Mountain roads with switchback turns, no guardrails, and a 500-1000 foot vertical drop off of a cliff if you screw up. Crawling around on your hands and knees in the snow with a flashlight in your mouth while installing or removing tire chains on a package car [B]really[/B] sucks. The job is more [I]comfortable[/I] in the winter, but it is a lot more stressful also. [/QUOTE]
