[QUOTE="rod, post: 237132, member: 5382"] Now I'm really going to age myself. When I first started a shipper could only send 100 lbs a day to the same address and the weight limit per box was 50 lbs. Also I started just after they got rid of the clipon plastic bowties that the drivers would take off as soon as they left the building. Also the drivers wore the old style bus driver hats- not baseball caps. One of my first jobs was running a shuttle route to the just opened North Dacota center that was located in Moorehead ,Mn.- across the river from Fargo. For the 1st week or so I made quite a few trips that envolved running an empty truck over and maybe bringing 1 or 2 pkgs back. God it was boring. I picked up every hitch hiker I could just to make the night go faster and keep me awake. Even took my wife with me a few times but for some reason she didn't like being dropped off at a truckstop at 1:00 at night while I went on in to do the sort. Picked her up on the return trip. When I 1st started UPS didn't deliver states west of the Mississippi River (except California,Wash. & Oregon.) If I recall correctly Texas was one of the hardest states for UPS to get delivery rights to. I remember some poor driver that drove up from South Dakota that got stuck driving a diesel powered 6 Cube that had a tow bar that pulled another gas 6 cube.
