Santa Tracker for the Great Brown Truck

[ChickNorris]

Don't like it when random people come up to me while I'm eating my lunch and ask for their Iphone. Makes my spidy sense go off. As I live on my route I don't like people tracking me to my house.

Oh s*$t, that's far worse than I imagined; being publicly tracked to my residence. Has anyone ever approached you there?

Tangential related, I worked for UPS a long, long time ago. Started as a seasonal worker & then stayed on. My routes included Inverness & the Kiowa area but this was before that level tracking was available. A simple DIAD by comparison to now (first gen maybe?). Today's tech might have even been helpful at the time as Kiowa & Elizabeth were still considered rural. I was given a truck full of packages, sent out on my own & after only one week as a 'helper' on another route in your area. I had a lady who might have bought everything Speigel catalog ever offered at the time as I went to her house near daily. She made coffee for me, had it ready & kept the dogs inside until after I left. My route had grown so much with housing developments that I was delivering by what fell out of the truck when I opened the door, sorters did their best though to fill the aisle with one subdivision so I could at least get in after the first hour or two. I was eventually given a helper the following year & we came up with a jingle on a particularly awful day, on the way back to the hub in Commerce City, during Christmas week in a blizzard. To the tune of Jingle Bells:

Dashing through the snow, in a rental Ryder truck ~
Down the hill we go, we can't stop oh F ***
Not equiped with chains, because UPS is cheap~
My DIAD's down, my toes are cold & I need some sleep~

Oh jingle...

I stopped working there later that year. Good money for me at the time, paid off several student loans but I didn't find any other reward working for the company.
