New delivery trucks?

[retiredTxfeeder]

They tried golf carts in some of the bigger subdivisions for helpers about 7 or 8 years ago, but they haven't used them since, at least not in the building I worked out of. I guess somebody decided it was too expensive here.

For one subdivision this year we made a deal with a driver. Dropping a TP60 in his driveway and he and a helper will be delivering out of it all day. Should be interesting.

It gets cold in Georgia?

Have you already forgotten the ice storm in 2014?

Mid 60's.


Absolutely brutal.

It was a joke Dave. Try to lighten up.

 

[cosmo1]

Only for about a month, sometimes it might even snow an inch or so and create massive traffic jams that shut Atlanta down for weeks.

Fixed.

Mid '60's.


Absolutely brutal.

You mean mid -60s right?

Yeah, right.

You mean mid -60s right?

Maybe where you are.

Would that require the drivers property to be zoned "commercial"?

Worst I've ever seen is -45 with a -56 windchill. I was coming back from vacation in January, when we were on approach the pilot said "Current conditions are about 78 with a light breeze and uh, ha just kidding, it's terrible."

I'm sure UPS bribed……errr, ran it past…..the HOA.

Ha, no HOA's in this neck of the woods.

We had three or four in our building last year

Wow.

Roswell Center runs 30ish gold carts during peak, some subdivisions get 2-3 carts per Uhaul pulled. Good news if if you put your other work time in you get an extra .10/hr for pulling one to the drop off. This is of course not including the pods that get filled with a split back loaded on trucks.

I have family that live down in FL somewhere, and UPS helpers are already running golf carts from storage trailers on site.

 

[livin the dream]

this isn't a joke? we really use golf carts?

 

[Jackburton]

No, we really do. And yes, they really do have helpers going in neutral falling off screwing around.

Actually several HOA's this year refused to allow UPS back at their club house. I couldn't imagine what could go wrong having 2-3 college kids unsupervised on golf carts with a pod, u haul trailer, and personal cars all in the same area with no facilities or regard for the area they work in.

Those are for helpers.

How long before they have the helpers use Rickshaws?
