[QUOTE="Work right slow and safe, post: 648417, member: 16836"] [CENTER][COLOR=#006600][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]It was the month of December and I, the cover driver was happy. To know that soon I will make some money and will be out of the hub and into the cold weather. December will go by so fast without a care, I will get to see all the family hanging lights with laughter and love as I sit and think that my house is so glum and bare. My wife and kids are so sad to know that dad will not soon be there. They will get all warm and snug in there bed by nine they will ask if dad will be fine but he is all cold and wet. As they try to sleep, they will cry and weep to know that I must be beat they missed seeing me once more not getting a kiss or hearing I love them they do know they can see me only if they wake fast as I run out the door like a cold winter snap they can sit and have breakfast by themselves without dad. It’s hard to be happy when your customer are so full of glee and give “thank yous” with wishes of a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Its hard for them to hear me reply “you do the same,” with my back to them as I run to my truck. Only thinking that’s just one stop with more to do and no time for a breaks. I know for sure I will be over and will see a warning letter, now trying to stay safe and get done for the day.
