    Sometimes I feel lucky to make it out of a receiver without being in handcuffs.

    Try calling a receiver and this is what he tells you ... You have to deliver between 430 am to 530am no exceptions or you will be ticketed now what you do is go through residential to a one way street which you have to back up against the flow of traffic 2 blocks their dock is at the end of the one way but it's impossible to make the corners I used to hate going there for a 2 or 3 skid order cops would just wave and continue on unless it was after 530 then expect trouble

    I left a loading rack in Doraville,and seriously considered coming back to express my opinion
    to the owner that drove the yellow camaro.I'm not your wife,or daughter,so speak accordingly.
    Some of these people have never met the right driver.

    Makes me happy that I am now a local driver going to all the same places that I know...Not to say its all easy peazy stuff, but there isn't usually any surprises.. Only surprise are getting stuck in the mud or some places we go are tight but after your first time there all the other times are basically the same..

    I went to Barnes and Noble distributor up in New Jersey and had a rude broad at the security gate cop an attitude with me for no reason.

    Needless to say I am just glad I made it out of there without killing her or seriously rearranging her face (mighta helped her out in the looks department though).

    stupid east coast jerks.

    I have only been in one fight with a receiver and no fault of mine, he flipped out me for no reason, guess he was having a bad day but I am "BANNED" from Sysco Foods in LA...Thank God.
