[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 3269060, member: 52978"] I had a Christmas eve back in the late 70's I remember especially. Had a helper with me the whole day. They started that peak riding with you from the building, but towards the end of peak, I picked him up on the way to the route. He parkd in a mall parking lot. We got the word that *anything* that looked like a Christmas gift *had* to be delivered. No signature release back then. Don't know how it happened, but I got a misload that was not only out of my area, but it was not even delivered from our building. It was about 20 miles from where my area ended, and I saved it for last. Delivered it about 11:00 pm, way out in the sticks on a dirt road. Was afraid to go up to a house that late, so I just honked my horn. An older lady came out that looked to be about 70. It was a gift from her grandkids. She started crying when she saw the package. She thought her grandkids had forgotten about her. Helper and I both had something in our eye after talking to this lady. I punched out after midnight after about a 45 minute ride back to the building. I was the last one in. Nobody from the center team was there, they had all gone home. Seeing that little lady happy was worth it to me. [/QUOTE]
