- This was the job that I liked the most. I started out as a delivery driver. Was in the warehouse for three a years. Then on to the counter the following years. I do have to say this was the low stress job. We all got a long and if we had a problem we worked it out. If one would not stop the problem,Terry the manager stopped it. I had the privilege of working with some older people that had been in the industry for a while. I learned a lot from them, I owe them a debt of gratitude. I had that job for 13 years. Did UPS when you had to hand write the tickets. I did outside sale in Gallup and Grants every Thursday.
