[QUOTE="Signature Only, post: 919167, member: 21043"] [COLOR=#0000CD][SIZE=3][FONT=microsoft sans serif][FONT=tahoma][/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]I started as a seasonal Xmas hire, 1 of 6, hired in 1992 and was the only one to make it through. The first week of December they put me in this huge Rider truck with 2 long wooden shelves held up by towing straps. I delivered a full route, 40% mall, 40% stand alone business and rest was resi. That truck was packed full everyday and there wasn't a bulkhead door. Every business stop was out of the back. I delivered the resi out of the cab. One morning after finishing the last NDA stop I heard a loud 'POP'....when I rolled up the back door I was greeted by a gigantic package pyramid. One of the shelves had been overloaded and snapped. I almost lost it, but then calmed down and said to myself "If I can make it through this, I can get through anything this job throws at me" I was rehired into the preload in April the following year, worked 7 1/2 years part time before finally going full-time. Being a driver is a lot of things....but it's never boring. [/QUOTE]
