I'm using a rental van for Christmas and it's not very big, especially when compared to our normal diesels. I left the building today filled from top to bottom, back to front. My first stop was a good sized bulk stop that cleared out a lot of room, but I was still pretty full. I had a pick up on my screen that said I had to pick up 4 big boxes and they wanted me there before 1 oclock. I sent a message to dispatch saying that I wasn't going to be able to pick up the stop by 1 because I couldn't shove another box into the back of my van without the aid of some roofracks or a lot of lube. Dispatch's reply was "the customer is visually impared". Ok......so what does that have to do with anything? I replied with "Great! So she won't know that I'm showing up late because she won't be able to see the clock."

I also got pulled over today. Someone got a little freaked out that a guy was getting out of an unmarked van and going through their neighbor's yard so they called the cops. A couple stops later a cop was coming in the opposite direction. He turned around and came after me. He was cool about it at least. He got a little chuckle when he looked inside and saw that I was delivering packages. After checking the back of my van to make sure it wans't full of stolen tv's, he let me go.
