Ouch. Those temps are painful even if you’re used to it.
Wonder how Tua is going to do. Mahomes can at least run if needed.

We don't pay much attention to "wind chill" numbers. I delivered one day when it was minus 52 degrees below --actual temp. God only knows what the wind chill would have been that day. My truck was left running all day (even at lunch) and the radiator was completely covered with cardboard. NOT a fun day ---the whole week was terrible. The HIGH for that week was like Minus 12 below. Thank god for Global Warming. So far this winter we haven't had a below zero temp---------until tonight it is predicted to be like -4

Heaters in those old trucks barely worked

The gaps were awe full. I remember stuffing plastic bags in the gaps between the cab and package area above the doors.
My ford I drive now I just turn on one of the new fans. One thing they did right

Tape around the engine cover to block air leaks

Classic thread. Good to see I learned a lot between my post on page 1 when I was qualifying and today, just 4 months away from top scale.

Now that I'm a bid route driver, you'll all be pleased to know that I indeed have "that guy" in my loop. Dude comes in about 30-45 minutes before start time and loads his truck for free, bitches to the dispatcher about how ed he is for that day, and then beats me back to the building every single day.

Sounds like Dave is back at work?

Dumbasses that work during their lunch and break. Drive at excessive speeds. Roll stop signs. D.R. packages to the fastest, easiest location, disregarding potential theft or weather damage. Sign for packages with no one present. Literally run in the streets. Cut accross lawns. Call pickup accounts instead of actually going there. E.C. packages simply because they dont wanna deliver the area. Do not attempt call tags. Double park. Park illegally. Whine about dispatch in the morning and get stuff cut off them. Come in early and load truck/organize load off the clock. The list goes on, and on.
Basically someone who doesnt do the job like a man, but instead a bitch, without a single ounce of integrity.

What does it mean to E.C. a package?

Non-delivery.... Emergency Conditions

Non-delivery.... Emergency Conditions

The go-to for a runner gunner who encounters any dog.

Non-delivery.... Emergency Conditions

Oh. I do remember that being a non-delivery option but I never used it once in my years in package car. Never ran into an emergency condition.

During Covid peak when we were rolling thousands of pieces a day we would work for 13 hours and then EC everything left on the car.

Heavy rural areas will ec whole sections out in the boonies when there is heavy rain or snow. Some routes won't even leave the center.

Never had any mile long driveways in a snowstorm I take it

MUST HAVE BEEN NICE
