Union workers, yes? <br /><br />My driver only knew one pedal position for his right foot: flat to the floor, gas or brake. (dual feed, double pumper Holley, 400", 6 spd auto)<br />We bailed off while still moving, and ran. Carry two or three cans to the truck, dump two at a time over the shoulder. No throwing empty cans, had to carry them back to the curb.<br /> Low, sub freezing temps, snow on the ground. Once I got warmed up, I would be down to a t-shirt.<br /> Wore my boot soles out in a little over a month. That was an unexpected cost, for me!<br />Started in Dec. After a couple months, I was in the best shape of my life.<br />Driver was fast, because we got paid for a full shift, whether we finished our route early, or not. We always finished early, of course.<br /><br />Happy Birthday, Tam!
