What if it Snows?

Any plans to actually drive it...... I mean outside the city limits?

 

Starving.

 

It's a funny post in that you would have been the driver of Blackey III. If you would have taken Dave up on his offer.

 

Those old Woodys were powerful Vehicles before they were clogged up with all the "Smog" junk

 

But I didn't, so in the meantime I'm sitting pretty in South GA.

 

Back in the early 2000s a local (in Ft Worth) Gentlemen's Club "New Orleans Nights" that had the BEST! minestrone soup made with cubes of steak on their lunch buffet. You would go there just for the soup -really and have to explain to people you were not there just for the strippers but actually there for the soup.

 

Calculations given were top of head set to show how dealer principals view salesman. It was his cute way of "you guys want more money, work harder, make more calls." My raise the commission is the salesman's way to push for a raise.
At the end of a year, you can run your calls (call reports-4 a day) into your gross pay (W2), divide by 10 (1 in 10 calls) to see how much a winning call was worth. I had a territory from TN line on north side, to US82 highway on south side, bounded by I55 on West side, and AL line on East side. Lived in Tupelo . Usually made 4 valid for effect sales calls day. Hit some others for associated allied products: dock boards, pallet trucks, hand trucks, etc...

In the 50's, I hauled grain/seed in 100 burlap bags, floor/hand loaded and unloaded. Dried fruit out of CA to Jax MS or Bham AL. Boxed in cardboard say 12' wide. 8" high and 24" long. Dried beans in 100 lb bags. Floor/hand loaded and unloaded.
Usual routine then was 5 men and 2 or 3 Jakes wooden hand truck's. Hand in warehouse stacked 5 bags of seed/grain on a hand truck (was pulling from an organized stack) and pushed it out into the trailer. 2 hands ,1 each side grabbed and tossed off and in to trailer pile, hand left with his empty hand truck to warehouse. Meanwhile another was on the way. So 3 loading/moving, and 2 unloading-placing it went pretty fast. China Doll in Mobile opened at 7, we were leaving by 9 all routine.
You can see how pallets and a forklift decreased the people and improved om the actual integrity of the product being handled..

 

Wheres thu Beef ???

 

Tell you what - in that you had to hand unload on to a hand truck, you became the poster child of "How and Why" a wherehouse operator could save thousands a year and make the forklift virtually free when they purchased a forklift from you.

 

My wife has been making similar for years... We call "outof your butt cassarol" because its whatever we can find in the pantry and thrown together. No recipe, just thrown together out of her butt... Different every time.
