[QUOTE="soberups, post: 331818, member: 14668"] I was hunting in Montana a few years ago, and i had a chance to talk to the driver who delivered to that extremely remote area. He told me some interesting stuff; [LIST] [*]He works 60 hrs a week, and brings stops back almost daily to avoid running out of hours [*]He has to factor fuel into his trace. He has a credit card to buy gas with but stations are few and far between. [*]He can save several hours a day by showing up at the school when it lets out. He parks by where the school buses are loading up, and gives packages to the kids. He knows the bus routes and sometimes he can indirect stops to the bus drivers. [*]Sometimes he swaps deliveries with the mailman. There is no point in both of them driving 30 miles up a dead end road for one stop. [*]For 5 months out of the year, they take away his P-32 and rent him a 4x4 Suburban with the seats removed and snow tires installed.[/LIST]The best part of meeting him was he told me about a good spot to hunt and I wound up shooting a nice 4 point whitetail!
