[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 583269, member: 709"] My hell day.. lets see if I can remember all the details.. it was PEAK, (aka winter) 2pm So I get stuck in a driveway(1 mile long so yes driving it is ok even with the chains I had on) no problem only about 2 miles from our "towing" company Neighbor attempts to pull me out.. no go. 2:20 I message in I'm stuck, and need a tow. 2:30 I also call in to verify info(since I got no response) 2:45 Receive message that tow company was called.. wait wait wait... I walk off a couple close delivery's(about 2 miles of walking out and back) 3:30 send off a message asking ETA of tow truck 3:30 sun starting to set(casting a shadow on me and truck getting cold quickly) Cell phone now dead(from various calls to customers and center) 4:00 receive message "you're still stuck?" 4-5:30 I have to run the truck to keep warm, falling asleep waiting for tow truck explaining to neighbors why I'm still here... etc... 5:45 tow truck shows, pulls me out in 5 minutes... Drove back to center with 50 pieces or so, DEL a few more in town on way in... Strangely enough.... nobody not even management said anything about this ever... apparently someone forgot to call the tow company? or said the tow company forgot me.. who knows... Almost as good as my last day... when I was running a route spec'd at 80 stops max, but I was out with 135 or so... got about 110 off, when I slid off the road at 9pm, luckily the truck was still mostly on the road, just one tire sank, so I could run the engine to keep warm.(again) got back to the center at 11pm... great last day. BTW these were my only two incidents but they make it look like I'm always stuck. for reference our center averaged 1 pull out per day in the winter.. it was amazing we once went a whole week without a pull out(in winter) [/QUOTE]
