UPS North: Driving a package car in The Last Frontier

[Catatonic]

When I think of Alaska I think of miles and miles of beautiful scenery with a sprinkling of a few houses surrounded by tons of junk. They seem to like a lot of crap in their yards up there. Kind of like homes in Hawaii.

Or Alabama

Well once upon a time they did. You are talking about The Buckner Building which was basically a community under one roof back when Whitier was a Cold War military base. The building is abandoned now.

Actually he is talking about the Begich Towers . Most of the town does currently live in them.

What are the highest mileage routes out there?? Like 800 miles a day with 5 stops?

I'm not sure about UPS but I know there is a FEDEX driver that drives through 150 miles of wilderness one way just to start his deliveries of about 30 stops, then drives 150 miles back.

Ever try to shag her? She seems piggish. And love the glasses.

Those glasses are sexy as hell
