Or how about to any place really cool like Hugh Hefners' playboy mansion, or maybe someone that is high profile in the spot light like a sports figure, movie star, etc... | |

When I was a driver helper we had a pretty rural route lots of mansions along the water. One of the houses belonged to Tom Clancy but I never got a chance to meet him. | |

Before Whoopi Goldberg got on The View I delivered to her several times at her house.
Delivered to Greg Norman at Stratton Mountain.
Delivered packages addressed to Rick Ocasek to Stratton Mountain but never met him personally.
Delivered many times to Tom Bodett's house, met his wife but not him.
Just got done working a Teamster Gig for Extreme Home Make Over, drove Michael Maloney and Page Hammels and a new carpenter who hasn't been on TV yet, Rib. Met Ty and Tracy.
Trying to think...I know there's another or two. | |

I met a guy who del'd in rural Nevada out of a Datsun pickup. Carried two spare tires with him and had to change often because of the condition of the "roads'. | |

I always said that it wasn't Buckner's fault. It really pissed me off when they finally won it all and all the "we forgive you" people came out of the woodwork.

I would totally go into feeder if all there was to pull was doubles,but I live in a state where triples are allowed. That is just one long ass rig. I saw a comparison one time and a set of triples are almost as long as a boeing 737. | |

Yes it was daylight, yes it was outside the yard but no it wasn't on the interstate. I wished I had a camera phone!!!! I don't know that I could drive a truck to be perfectly honest. I'm a TERRIBLE driver! lol. -Rocky

And used to have David Ortiz on the route before he moved. | |

I have delivered to Michael Jacksons house. Actually he has his own fire station on his property and that is were all his pkgs go. Never seen him there though. You have to sign a release form when you go onto his property saying you wont talk about anything you see out there. oops, did I mention he had his own firestation?:blush: | |
