Confessions of a Courier: Halloween Edition


The holiday season has finally arrived! I can’t believe Halloween is already next week. Decorating for Halloween is always fun; whether you’re in it for the tricks or the treats. Our office is decked out with spiders, cobwebs and spooky decor.

Last Tuesday started off a little slower, which is a nice break from the fast-paced delivery in Los Angeles our drivers are used to. One of our drivers started with a few orders in the morning and as the day went on, it picked up. At that point, he was just going in and out of buildings dropping off and picking up packages, going with the flow and getting his job done at a steady pace.

 He got an order picking up a package on the lot at a building he had never been before. As he entered he could tell it was an old building going through renovations. He was picking up on the 3rd floor and he decided to take the stairs.

 As the driver walked up the stairs, he looked at the time and was happy to see he was almost off and this was probably his last run. It had been a long day for him. He made it to the 3rd floor, dropped off the package and when he turned around he couldn't believe what he saw, it made his whole body shiver. An alien figure about his size was sitting in one of the chairs!

He just stood there for a second when the receptionist asked him, “Are you OK? ” He just smiled and said, “Yeah, I’m fine. But that alien looks real!”  She said “You’re not the first person we've scared today.” 


Happy Halloween everybody!

Keep on Truckin'
