[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 2251462, member: 42268"] Here was my Integrad training circa 1975. Monday, I walk in the door. The center manager is waiting for me. Here's your uniform, the locker room is over there, get dressed. They had asked me sizes earlier. Fits pretty well. C.M. gets in the car with me after everyone leaves. He neatly tucks the seat belt behind the seat. "I never wear it, it just gets in your way." I stand in the doorwell as we are traveling 45 mph down the road. He's got one hand on the wheel and the other on the gear shift with a lit cig. We get to our first stop W. T. Grant and have breakfast in the restaurant. He spends the day driving and showing me how to sheet packages, collect COD's and the route. Tuesday, We leave on time on time and head for W. T. Grant. Have breakfast, make the delivery to the loading dock out back. C.M. says bring the car around, I'll be out front. Get in the drivers seat, check the top of the gear shift knob to see where the gears are and pull out. Hear a bang. Check the mirror. I had cut it short and clipped a trash bin sitting there. Just another scratch on a scratched up car. But my stupid honesty gets the best of me and I tell the center manager when I pick him up. He just waves his hand. " Don't worry about it, don't do it again." I spend the rest of the day driving learning how to drive the "package car" and learning the 5 Seeing Habits. And of course the most important part of customer relations. "Don't ever go up to a customer with a cig in your hand." Wednesday, I'm behind the wheel as we leave the building. Get to W. T. Grant. We work about 4 hours when we go past a diner we went by every day. I stop and drop him off with his newspaper. "Pick me up on the way back." He is still sitting there about 3 hours later. "Everything okay, you didn't hit anything did ya." I assure him I didn't. We finish the day. Thursday, "Here's the keys, good luck." Never looked back. 32 years in the package car with 30 years safe driving. Yeah, okay you got me. I hit something once. What, you think I was perfect? [/QUOTE]
