They told him he couldn't run with the big dogs...

How the hell do you do that without shelves and being able to keep everything in order ? That would drive my OCD crazy .

I did it with a Uhaul one peak on a route that was mostly rural. It's not as bad as you'd expect and they're only running 70 stops here.

I had a business route they put in a uhaul a few peaks ago. All businesses that had to be off by 2:30 to start pick ups. They covered pick ups for me every single day they put the route in a uhaul.

I remember one peak a new guy had a uhaul and it was loaded with high walls on all sides of the Uhual then some in the middle. I looked at it and said to him "That sucks". He said its not so bad. I laughed and said "Not bad until you make a turn". He didn't understand what I was talking about. The next day he said "Now I know what you meant". lol

Not as hard as you might think, first 10 stops or so right at the left door(with doc bin snuggled in somewhere), behind(center row) it another row more stops, and the final town of the day is just bulked into the rear, I'll set those back at the left door after I have room. Anything really "large irregular bulk" I'll put on the right door.

I'll also consolidate smaller boxes into doc bins, based on area.

With Multiple doors it's much easier than an econoline.

The wheelwells are also slotted so if you were really ambitious you could put a 2x4(2x6) if you wanted to section the floor. I did that on my econoline/GMC panel van years ago, kept my stuff from sliding around, ended up cutting 2x6's for a few other drivers in the station.

My work truck is a 350 Transit with an enclosed service body and I get this diabolic squeaking from the bulkhead. Do you guys have that problem with how yours are set up?

The Transit Connect has a factory bulkhead which is pretty solid.

The real answer is, it’s easy to keep envelopes organized.

Brutal... I did help out and do a pickup for someone... 10 boxes and I was bulked out...they were like 25x25x25.

Do u occasionally get truck tires as well?

One of my last stops, so I strap em outta my way...

 

[Nolimitz]

let me guess, you spent a weeks pay on tie downs?

 

[OrioN]

Nah, my first subcontractor gave them to me upon my request when he issued me a rental box truck. I loaded that thing up in stop order like a mini trailer.
