    You should pick it up. Customer probably doesn't want it to fall through the floor of their trailer.

    I hate zombies so we might have to put you back in the grave. Or maybe mummify you into a tomb like they did in the mummy.

    Sorry to hear about everything though

    Yes sir! Still running line! Still getting passed by Old Dominion that run 2 MPH faster than us... and still getting my doors blown off by FedEx and UPS that are apparently immune from the laws of traffic ...and physics.

    Thanks for all the well wishes and welcome backs!

    On a side note: Only in Montana do you have to pack sunscreen, an umbrella, and tire chains all for the same trip... grrrrrr

    Most UPSF trucks are governed between 67-73 miles a hour. Two of our trucks in my yard will do 75.

    I though NY was the only state you witness all 4 seasons in a week.

    I'm not a ltl driver, but a local route/service driver. What has been ****ing me off lately is a customer will call the office for service in an area I am in. The problem is, between the time the office women get the call, and get the message to me, 3 or 4 hours have elapsed because they are too busy bs'ing.

    Instead of me hitting the stop while I was in the area, I now have to backtrack 50 miles on a 40 stop route, to the same parking lot I was in two hours ago.

    Then when I call to b****, they try to play it off like they had just received the call, even though I have already chatted with the customer.

    Happens almost daily.

    I sure didn't think so, back when I was doing it. But it is a lot of physical work. It's good for you though!
