[QUOTE="mpeedy, post: 1620799, member: 6439"] Some LP were retired cops and carried pistols. C.O.D.'s meant cash or check. It was not unusual for a driver to come in with a couple of grand.Their were drivers who would float C.O.D. money in thier pockets till pay day. Some would get caught and fired. Package cars would have cash drop box safes welded to the floor in the back. DIADS would crash often so spare ones were left in drop boxes just incase. No DR,had to get sigs or SDNotices. Drivers would have packs of sighned SDNotices of reg customers in cab. Had a retired driver from the 50's and 60's tell me that pkg. cars didn't have shelves in the back. No one wore a seat belt or closed the bulkhead door. When comming up to a stop you would throw the handbrake on at 5 MPH, get out of the seat, grab your next package in the back , and hopfully be down the steps before the car stoped. It was a race to finish your route, race to the hub and grab more pkgs to back out to deliver. [/QUOTE]
