RIPPED
THE DELIVERY COMPANY NEEDED AT LEAST ONE NIGHT to rest over from the long haul of picking up vehicles south of Springfield, Missouri for an end route delivery north of Chicago in Glencoe, Illinois. The driver, a lone elderly hispanic man edging on his legal retirement year answered the phone to relay his message to the client who called back on the number left by the cellphone in his pocket. "I need a night's rest ma'am. Unless you're gonna be awake for delivery at around 2a.m. I won't be dropping your car off on schedule. If I shut my haul down right now for the night I can get there by nine or ten in the morning. I get a few hours shut eye and you got your car there in one peice on good time for your household... if you don't mind, or we can meet at 2 in the morning... I keep driving. I do have to unload the last pick up that's mounted on my rig behind your car... that will take about a half hour then we do the delivery paperwork and I take your check for the balance owed and get on my way to Chicago. What's it gonna be>" The old guy stopped talking just long enough to hear her sigh. He continued, I'm at a truck stop outside St Louis... upper part of St Louis where I got the last vehicle loaded on. If you can wait til morning... a decent hour of morning, that would be fine with me."
