This job, like any other job, is what YOU make it! I have been a package car driver for 28 yrs now and I can still honestly say that I love the work I do. I can retire when I want, but have decided to work, until I don't like having to get up to go to work in the morning. That day could come tomorrow, or it could come in ten years. True, the company is not what it use to be, it has evolved just like our society in general. With the new technology and equipment that we have today our job has it's tradeoffs. Most of us now drive "cadillac" style package cars with power steering and automatics. Back in the old days all we had were manual transmissions and hard to steer and manuever beasts!! Gone are the days of paper delivery records, keeping a wad of COD cash in your pocket, and storing presigned delivery notices in a recipe box. With the new DIAD we only need half a brain to do the job! I find the job of today much easier then it ever was.
I often wonder what I would be doing today, if I would have gone to college and had chosen another career ,then I realize that I really couldn't be happier than I am right now at this point in my life. Sorry for waffling on here but I just had to get this off my chest after reading so much negativity about the company that has been good to me and my family for 28yrs now. HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all!!! Stealth8
