  Half ton van, from a google search is… those large white windowless delivery vans, like they use on TV when the terrorist wants to put a bomb in it.
  
  Good luck.

  Ha ha, LBJ10 I know what we call those vans here (starts with an “r” and ends with an “aper” van). You can drive one of those Lintini, no problem. I hope you get it, sounds like a fun job

  Well I got it but I don’t think I’m going to take it. I really can’t see myself driving to the airport everyday or every other day. It’s a complete nightmare and I don’t even like picking people up from them let alone do it for a job. I have some time to think about this. Sigh I was so excited too but I don’t know now.

  I would give it a shot. You might really end up enjoying it. And I don’t think you’d be going to the main airport. Don’t airports have a separate freight area? lol

  Lol ^ Took me a few minutes to realise what the heck you meant!
  
  Lin, take some time to think on it for sure! Would you really have to drive there everyday? You could always ask someone come along with you the 1st few times to help you navigate it all. As Michelle mentions too, it might be completely different to navigating the main airport. It could work out access to the freight area is a breeze.
