A short story of how I started working on a milk truck at 14 years of age. Well it all came about when my brother in-law called me at home and asked if I wanted to work delivering milk, and it was located in the town about 2 miles away but we would have to walk there and we were to begin at 5:00 am!

He said I’ll meet you and we’ll walk there. He met me at 2:30 am and we walked down to the milk and he told me we would work together on the same truck, but when we got there I was told to garage with the other driver, so I went with him on his route and went about making delivery’s till about 7:00 am in the morning but I had to hurry home as I had school that day.

I was so tired but went anyway I only did this for 2 days, it was too much and it was in the winter, and very cold at the time. I did work for a milkman about a year later for about two months, and went to school, this was six days a week as Saturday was collection day and that’s how I made my tips plus I was paid $2.00 a week, so on a good week I made about $6.00! I kept about $2.00 or so and gave my mom the balance.
