[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 659123, member: 1664"] [B][COLOR=DarkGreen]Good one, as any I have had. The last stop took the longest. We had tornado's and 6" of rain in 8 hours. The road was flooded and I took another back road to get there and it was also flooded. The only other option was to drive 30 miles and try to get there on mud clay roads.-(not really an option)- I stopped at a farm and asked if I could borrow their phone book to look up a number and I was invited in. I called the customer to explain I could not get there to deliver their Christmas pkgs. I thought they would be pissed off, but the exact opposite happened. They thanked me for calling and asked me to leave it at a friends home. That friend was 1/4 mile down the road from where I was calling from. My wife was thrilled that I got home early at 8 o'clock. I know it sounds weird, but I always get a good feeling stepping out of an empty pkg car on Christmas Eve. No matter how tired I am, I feel like Santa looking at his empty sleigh after a hard nights work. [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
