Will call, post card.
America I love this country.I had several deliveries to places like that, one was almost a mile to the end of the road.
Had one where the woman that lived there was raped, and they wanted deliveries left at the house next to the drive after that.
Worst I ever had was to the house of a grand dragon KKK. His sign said you are being watched, and had a photo shown through a scope. You want to talk whack job.
Also the time I delivered to Mrs Qualls for the first time. She is a bit old, her face wrinkled to the extreme. Had a shotgun. I was praying the old gal didn't fall or have a heart attack. Always had several thousand stuck in her bra. Most she ever pulled out was around $6400 cash.
Last statistics I heard was that one in 20 on the road is legally drunk, on weekends and late nights, one in 7.

Great question! I would hope that a black driver could (and would) refuse to go there.I am curious, Dannyboy--when you were on vacation did you ever have a black driver fill in for you? That would have been rather interesting.....
A lot of the farms I deliver to raise sheep and goats. When they are too old to produce wool or milk, the animals are frequently sold to the local Hispanic population for meat. What normally happens is that the animals will be shot and butchered on site. On more than one occasion I have come down the driveway to the sight of several Hispanic men gathered around a goat or sheep that is hanging from a tree and being skinned and gutted. There is one farm in particular where the spot beneath the tree is the only place for me to turn around, so they have to stop what they are doing and swing the carcass out of the way so that I can back into the spot to get out. And I wind up driving over a huge pile of skin and guts. It doesnt bother me (I hunt) but I had a relief driver get completely grossed out by it.
Actually, the route I was on was taken over as a training route. I was moved to another route. The first driver that was "trained" on that route still has it 20 some years now. And he is black. Just like a brother to me.I am curious, Dannyboy--when you were on vacation did you ever have a black driver fill in for you? That would have been rather interesting.....
Unfortunately sometimes that's America.Actually, the route I was on was taken over as a training route. I was moved to another route. The first driver that was "trained" on that route still has it 20 some years now. And he is black. Just like a brother to me.
The KKK guy was in a resi area that was added at times to the route. First time it was added to his, we went to management and informed them of the problem. I believe they actually went to the guy's house and had a "talk" with him. But Dennis never ever had a problem with him. Now that can not be said from others on the route. Most went out of business when the other drivers would not deliver to them in support of Dennis. A ski shop was the worst.
Hard to believe there are stupid people still out there......
