How do I handle delivering/stopping in sundown towns I don't feel safe in

I do not know how vidor is now, but it has not been that long that NO local company would send a black man there, not a concrete truck or even the labor union, period. The railroad would not even send in their tie gangs, but would send a crew out of San Antonio instead.
I know it has improved, but I would still stay in orange if I was you and just go take care of business and leave.
The same with Lumberton and Bridge city.

 

It's funny you say that. People that don't know the area swear West Palm is all Bentley's and mansions but it kinda sucks lol.

 

Yeah, but that's the weekend....Monday thru Friday is just fine.

 

Well? Did ya give 'em the cig?

 

I don't even remembe where, but I delivered in Jersey, I got there in the night and could see where I needed to be but didn't see a way to get there in a truck. One side of the road was residential, (if you want to call it something) and the other industrial) I parked and walked several blocks to find a way in with the truck, but I was not exactly alone either.

 

Vidor!!!???

WHAT????

Next thing you know OP is going to turn down loads because it's in Amish country.

 

Like I said, there was a time he could not have made that delivery at all, things have changed considerably.

 

Just walk around with a visible pack of Marlboro lights in your shirt pocket.

 

Lots of shady looking characters walking around in the middle of the night there..

Mostly homeless people looking for their next fix.
