another job, less disgusting, but harder work, delivering blue seal grain for the local hardware store.
Delivering wasn't too bad. Load the econoline and drive it out to area farms. Eventually I got my license and could do some of the delivering myself.
What killed you though was when they got a delivery in.
Tractor trailer would back up to the loading dock, and a handful of us kids would unload the whole thing - by HAND. To this day I don't understand why we had to do it like that. I guess the owner was too cheap for a pallet jack - or even a hand cart. I was too young to question things like that - I just did what I was told.

I'll have to watch my language when I type about how much fun it was in the winter when the sweet feeds were frozen solid.
Those trailers sure do hold a LOT of grain when you're unloading one bag at a time.

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
