    Your so young. God i remember in 1980 when i started on a union freight dock. I wanted to quit so many times a buy a truck but i listened to my father and stayed for the 30 year pension. After i retired Obama fucked my insurance so bad i had to return to the work force. I bought several truck in 14 years last being a t680 for fuel economy. I just retired again (permanently) this year. 44 years was enough .

    I was a teamster working at the terminal during its construction. Fun times. I always chuckle at the speed limit signs at the terminal. 11 mph and 29 mph. What a hoot.

    Hey Dawson! Thanks for the ride today. Like somebody else said, too bad there isnt better manifesting for all the LTL type drops. Makes it less confusing. I spent many years in that business down in Oregon. Take care. Todd the retired trucker.

      I wondered what the proper term was - thanks for the info.

    It probably seemed like the day was dragging on because of the mess of packages you had to deal with. Seems someone could come up with a computer program to organize and label that mess to make it easier for the one that has to deliver all the packages! Awesome job.

      They usually are pretty good at writing on the boxes and a quick phone call to the office cleared it up. Sometimes when there’s lots of small deliveries like that it does get a little confusing but not bad 🤙🏽😂

    Why did you move to Alaska. I used to run up there three times a year out of the states here and I always wanted to live up there.

      I moved up when I was 15 because of my dad‘s work. He took a job up here.
