[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 2168503, member: 52978"] Well, since you brought it up.....You don't think it got dark at 5 o'clock when the "old timers" delivered? DST started in the US in 1967. You do bring up 1 point however. I could never do the kind of stop counts you greyhounds deliver today, that's for sure. The reason? We had to acquire a signature for EVERY SINGLE package, and if the consignee wasn't home, you had to walk around and find a neighbor that would be willing to accept the delivery and sign for it.. We also had CODS back then. Wasn't unusual to have 20 -30 per day. and it does take a little time to find someone to write a check or scrape up enough cash from the couch cushions to pay for the package. And you waited patiently till you got the money for the COD. Bricked out package cars? Junior, I've seen more brick walls than a union bricklayer. I would have loved to have the opportunity to drop a package on a porch and run back to the PC. Seems like the new breed of drivers like yourself think they are all that and a bag of chips. Instead of belittling the drivers who did this job before you, you might try showing a little respect. It goes a long way.
