[QUOTE="superballs63, post: 1098415, member: 17658"] 3 years ago @ peak time I had a nice rental truck which was expertly "shovel loaded" AND my helper didn't show up so I was trying to make good time in a tight resi section. Left the back door open when I went to make the delivery with plans to come grab the next X stops. Well, I forgot about that plan, hopped in the seat and floored it, a bunch of packages AND my handcart fell out. A better, more recent one was about a year ago I was running a mall route and it's the heaviest one that I know of. The route goes out in a hog and usually gets filled to near completion with P/U's. After picking up the mall and a UPS store, the truck was bricked (thank god). Went to hit a couple drop boxes about a mile away and then returned to the mall. When I got back to the mall another driver pointed out that when I pulled up, my back door was open:surprised:. I walked to the back of the truck and there was the door, completely open because the latch on the truck broke. I made sure to padlock the truck, and the padlock was still attached to the door but the latch seperated. Several High Values were right on the edge of the truck.....luckily nothing fell out.
