what was your first route?

[scooby0048]

I'm 135. I gained 10lbs my first year driving and stayed that weight! I think I needed it for leverage to tip back the cart!

Well the view from my house looks pretty damn good

You may want to ask those sorority girls for "tips to taking selfies".

Coffee is your friend.

Try being out in the dead of winter when it's dark by 4 and you have still have 2 hours of work and a 45 minute drive back to the building

I took it down because Dave made fun of it. Too old for selfies anyway!

I was making fun of the sorority girls, not you.

My first route was an industrial park and I drove a straight truck with a 24' box. An old tilt-cab Ford with air brakes. I went out everyday blown out with about 400 packages and I would pick up 600+ from my fifty shipping accounts. I had overflow every day and I had to get help getting pickups covered every night. This was in the mid-80s before FedEx Ground, so we owned the market then. The previous driver on that was killed in his personal vehicle, and three new drivers couldn't handle it before I bid on it. I went full-time straight out of the Hub on a bid route, I never had to swing drive.

400 packages blows out a 24 footer? What did you deliver, washers and dryers?

70-pound weight limits those days. I was handling a thousand boxes a day with little overtime. Probably only three or four hours of OT a week, I would fill it up and head in. It was a warehouse route where you backed up to docks all day and used a pallet jack a lot. My next three routes were mostly residential. I mainly just DR in subdivisions all day now.

If you know what a selfie is then you're definitely not too old to take one

This is called gaslighting. It only works to deny what you said when I have to rely on my memory of what you said - but I can read it silly.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

OK...I'm sorry.....can you please put the pic back up?

Just have fun,that's all that's important.

Speaking as a non-gay woman, all I can say is, you go girl. You have nothing to be embarrassed by.

Hopefully by now you have a grasp on your route. I went through it too, having nightmares and wondering how on earth one person could handle his route. Now I have that mastered and I'm just counting the days until day 30.
