Zen trucking: what is the load that is not loaded?

[gridlore]

Today, I did the impossible.

I worked a full day, made four deliveries, went to three vendors and never put anything in my truck bed.

Tell me how I did it.

You were delivering briefcases full of cash? :D

Somebody else ran the forklift for you?

That would still have had material going in the bed. Nothing there but an old pallet and the blocks of wood I use to support barstock all day.

Deivering small items you could keep in the cab?

We have a winner!

I started with three boxes for three stops. The largest was about the size of a toaster. Along the way, I picked up a spool of rope that easily fit on my passenger seat. My visits to the other two vendors came up empty. One was a mistake on their part, and the other was an order I picked up yesterday.

And they sent you in your bigass truck for this?

I was visualizing you as Accounts Receivable, actually, as another reason to bring the big truck :)

Of our three Ford F-250s, one was in the shop and two were comitted to other duties. Plus, with those two potential pick-ups from vendors, one always laods me with heavy pallets.

Sounds like one hand clapping...
