The day to day ramblings of the LTL business.

Um, not a good idea at all to pet a farm dog, unless you know it. Even then, use caution! I'm a lifelong dog lover myself, but I also know when it's time to just sit in the truck and toot the city horn until somebody other than the dog shows up.
Most of these critters are OK once someone that they know belongs there, but they ARE there for a reason, and it isn't as family pet.

 

90 0\0 of the time its pretty cool. Like two of the regular drops I make. A brother and sister work for each, so I talk to them.
The more you stop at the same places the better they get to know you, and the faster they are about getting you in and out. And a little Halloween candy doesn't hurt, randomly given of course. These people get to know you, and they can get to be friends as well.
One of my regular customers is a bear hunter, so when i see him i ask about it.
Its really, a good life. With a few crazies thrown in for good measure.

 

Yup, what he said.
Unless you get the very rare family pet that is literally wagging its tail so fast the whole body is moving with it. Like one I had that barely let me get he door open, before it was in my lap trying to lick me.
Though, it was a residential (farm) that the owner said was OK to leave on the concrete apron in front of the barn.
I love OK to leave deliveries.

 

Farm dogs no. The store mascot, absolutely! I loved interacting with them. On the flip side, I once had a Doberman circle my truck like a shark.

It was one of the deliveries that got returned that day.

 

Nothing to do with trucking, but talking about business mascots, our veterinarian has a cat in his office/reception area. Guess the dam thing knows how I feel about cats, as it came up to me, and bit me on the hand, while I was signing some paper work....
Now it seems to me, that somebody who has all kinds of animals coming in, all the time, wouldn't have the german shepherd bait hanging around in the office...

 

Management sounds like there "intellectually lazy" at this particular joint.

 

Just sounds like your typical HVAC/plumbing supply outfit.
