Do you remember delivering all of those cases of diet Pepsi?

Don't remember that.

Things were different;


We didn't have a DIAD.

We didn't have EDD.

We wrote everything on paper. (even in the rain)

We didn't have phones with GPS.

We didn't have power steering.

We didn't have automatic transmissions.

We didn't get to wear shorts.

We collected cash on COD's.

We used keys on the bulk head and back doors.

We didn't have intermittent windshield wipers.

We didn't have low step trucks.

We used the heater to warm up a pen, so we could sheet write.

(and that is all it was good for)


Veterans.... chime in. I'm forgetting things.

I believe you about covered everything, the new driver's don't have a clue how much easier it is now then when we had no power steering and those high steps. They want to complain about us old heads!! They want to Brown N*** the supervisor's. Just do your time and don't worry what the other guy's doing as long as I follow the methods I'm fine, NOT on PRODUCTION!!!

Those size limits kinda disappeared along with those chains. Haven't seen a chain it years lol

Chains disappeared when OS3 came out. Thx Pottery Barn

Plus, the old saying, size does matter. There was a time that every pkg fit out the front door

Don't forget the front doors were smaller then too!!!

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Don't remember that.

That was in the early 90's.

That was in the early 90's.

Um.... not here.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Um.... not here.

Maybe a regional thing?

Maybe a regional thing?

I think the rules for interstate changed before intrastate.

Did you guys get the pleasure of delivering cases of Surge soda from Amaz0n?

 

[Indecisi0n]

Now we have all the old guys sitting around telling "war stories". I feel like I'm at one of my old age Holmes delivering.
