    A nice fleece half zip pullover, a few hats, several 2 liter bottles of pepsi, lunch (an account I was on would call me to see how far out I was. When I got there they would have gone and got lunch for them (only 3) and me)

    An entire pallet of attic ladders, wood and aluminum, that I tossed in the dumpster outside the store (home depot) that refused to move them so I could get my next load on and one doughnut, which I promptly ate. Course there's the free coffee but I don't drink it.

    Gotta admit, I really don't understand some of these recievers. Have given away damaged boxes of meat and veggies, all because a box has split a seam. Product inside is still good, plastic not even touched but....... At least 3 times now, I've wished for a freezer in my trk. Could've had meat for a year by now!!!

    Get as big a cooler as you can fit and pack it in there with ice. You might not get all of it in there but you can get quite a bit home that way.

    Ten of those vacuum-packed bags of Maxwell house coffee. I was headed straight home after delivery. Five went to my house, and five went to my girlfriend. She's still working on finishing those bags of coffee.

    12 cases of baby formula, sells for $120.00/case. Boss told me to pitch it in the dumpster. Kept it and gave some away at different stops but gave most of it to my daughters friend who had just had twins.
