[QUOTE="Jim Kemp, post: 312261, member: 13379"] Does anyone remember when we had a 50lbs limit and only 200lbs from a shipper to a consignee. And when there was no intrastate del in Texas. Also the operation report was done by hand on a huge spread sheet that they put in a trailor at night and unloaded in the morning.Who knows where it went? We had no 1,2 or 3 day air,no committ times and no ways to really track a pkg. Pick ups were made as you went, we did not ever go back a second time. If it was not ready at 10am to bad. I also recall it cost .75cents to ship a 1lbs pkg. Your car was washed everyday, even if it never hit the road that day. I think they painted it once a year. I remember once our center failed a audit because they said the cars were not clean enough and they looked great compared to the way the cars look today. Also we started at 6am and if we were not making del. by 8am we were LATE. Boy o boy have things changed and not always for the better. [/QUOTE]
