[QUOTE="spankyup, post: 656821, member: 25750"] yes I remember the 400's.....had a couple that went over 800k before going to the crusher.....completly worn out....u-joints would only last 5k mi. doors all wallered out had to use both hands to open and close ... ...wooden bulkhead door.....sorry no heat heater used the dash as heater duct.....I did an extended route and wore insulated coveralls a lot in the winter....shelves very narrow would be useless with todays larger pkgs. worked 4 years before I got a dolly....couldn't do that today either .....miss the TLA drivers actually had a small input so many on car sup. have no practical knowledge now and its glaring misjustice. In our area the job is so much easier now....serviceable pkg cars...less hours...no cash...earlier start time.....more drivers easier to adjust...less harrassment....no 2 sup. rides to get drivers to quit.................some things are the same great job made very difficult sometimes by mgr hundred miles away that is not there to see the obvious and is not about to take counsel.....my 34+ enjoys this nostalgia [/QUOTE]
