Still the best

We had a lot of radio shack in new england and my back still remembers those long heavy wiremold stringers, i think they came out of w hartford.

Let us not forget fashion bug stores and the dreaded payless shoe stores

How about those Goodyear tire loads??? 45' vans stuffed from nose to tail w/ hundreds of tires all laced together. Some loads contained several different shipments. The only way you could tell one customer's freight from the other was w/ different colored chalk marks on the tires. Remember that freight?

How about all those GM auto parts loads! What a nitemare that stuff was. All different kinds of parts tangled together in one big ball of awfulness. I'd spend an hour delivering half of a 45' van on my route to a GM parts dealer. Sure glad my current company doesn't do that stuff. At least not yet.

I had 4 GM dealerships on my peddle run in Syr (014). I was either always short or had some other dealers parts. Was always delivering free astrays as well -don't know how the os & d folks ever kept it straight

If that was what I had to do all day was volume load ,That was an easy day ,These guys were brutal to peddle for ,I had all the hours I needed back then even in the winter when every body was laid off we were still working 10 and 12 hour days..I can actually say with out a doubt,The friends and bonds I made will last a lifetime.even 23 years later.We're still the best.I found no other place like it and probably never will,I .I do it all over again.People do make the difference.
