For sometime, now I have wanted to buy a Cadillac DeVille.
Well, because of my job I can't have one. I want either a white or a black one like this:
However today not far from where I live one of the companies trucks broke down and the driver was stalled out at a gas station for 2 hours almost more on Friday afternoon. So my self and another driver, who lives near by to where the truck broke down, both went out there and took a couple of stops off this poor guys plate. I felt, really bad for him, when you break down it's just awful. Where I work it's pretty much get it done, even if it's 10:00pm at night and the places are all closed. Any how, I ran and helped this guy 2 stops doesn't sound like a lot, but every delivery counts and it does help.
See I take my two wheeler home with me, so A I always know where it, is and also in case something like this happens. I also carry my ramps with me in the bed of my pick up truck, so say a company truck breaks down and I can help like today. I run out there and load the product into the back of my pick up truck, with the ramps it is possible for me to wheel kegs in and out of the back of my truck without any trouble. However, because of the fact that things like this are a possibility and I like to be useful, I have to equip my self with the tools to do my job, especially with this kind of thing. The driver I was helping was like , "You carry loading ramps?" I said "Oh yeah, I like to be prepared." I'm better prepared then management probably ever thought I was especially for stuff like this.
However because situations like this can arise from time to time, I have to have a truck or cargo van. Like when I decide it's time to go over to food, I should probably get like a Ford E-250 Extended Cargo Van, now see where I work things are taken care of very haphazardly, Sysco, GFS, US, Curtze they probably go about things in a much more regimented manor. However say a truck breaks down and the driver has a two or three pallet stop. Well I know if we work really hard, we could cram 3 pallets into a Extended Cargo Van it would fill it to the brim, but it probably could be done. Where there's a will there's a way.
Actually if I had a food service company or beverage distribution business I would have what's called the auxiliary break down truck. It would be a 16 foot box truck and I would equip it with a lift gate, and a power pallet jack as well as a power stand behind fork lift truck.
That way say a truck breaks down, we can use the lift gate to lower the power fork lift and take a couple skids off of the broken truck and get some deliveries done. While the broken truck is sitting dead in the water.
