How about a 2nd day air pickup book. Fur call box. Shipper stamp. End of day
turn in COD list form.
Pens were black,
Paper was wet and Carbon was junk! Clipboards and Bull dogs!
Never use a diad boardee thingee ma job!
May Co, Broadway, Sears, Bullocks and alike were just a single digit paper entries instead of all 6 digits (like 1 or 5 dependent on which brand of store it came from.
Driver's were rolling COD's !
Then they had the audacity to make us start putting in the 3 digit # in the remarks column they put by the shipper stamp!
Micro brakes were a HOOT!
Those P O S Vacuum windshield wipers were total JUNK!!
Electric popping bulk head doors!
Electric popping back doors!
Driver's Overhead shelf! Great place for old coke bottles to drop on a drivers head! Once that happened, you always LOOKED!
UN-sprung rear bumpers that really told you that you hit the dock or wall, they Always missed the rubber dock bumpers!!!
Skinny shelves that one tap of a curb or off angle driveway approach 1/2 to 3/4 of the shelves were in the middle piled or on the floor!
This was over the top for me when they said "You have to call in before you come back to the building" So I did two things!
First I made sure I had to use a pay phone! Then I told them they owed me a dime back for the call! They whined and whimpered use your last stops phone! NOPE! Doing residential cant do it! Now on my COD turn in I got my dime back every day!
Second thing I did was to walk over to HR and put a feeder transfer in as I wasn't gonna deliver pkg's ANYMORE! I was 23 years old, youngest feeder driver ever in that building. I was greeted by my old boss when I was a mule driver/shifter who now was the feeder manager. First thing outta this dip shifts mouth was "Come in my office, I don't want you as a feeder driver, you young guys are nothing but trouble I want you gone" ??? TOO bad suck face I figured! I earned the right, I had my ducks in a row, I was coming in anyway! He didn't get to challenge me long! He was caught falsifying record's and he was Shift Canned 2 months later!
Sorry, this post made me bring up how bad it was in the GOLDEN YEARS!!!! LOL
