Good luck! That sounds like a perfect job for you.

[Lintini]

Thanks…just a bit worried about driving to the airport ….how big exactly is a 1/2 ton van??? lol. If I have to drive to SF airport I might cry.

[Stickerbunny]

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.

[Sarita]

I think it’s just a regular van, not an 18 wheeler or anything :~)

[LBJ10]

There is something we call those vans. lol Um, but they are those full-sized vans (ie not a mini van) that plumbers, electricians, etc use to haul all their stuff around.

[Sarita]

Contractor vans? Big old ugly white vans :~) For sure not mommy mobiles.

[Monkeybun]

cargo van

[Sarita]

Yep, that’s it cargo vans!

[LBJ10]

No. More like molester van. Or at least that’s what my husband would say. =O

[LBJ10]

Cargo van works though. LOL

[TriBun]

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

[Elrohwen]

That sounds like a fantastic job for you!! Good luck!

[Lintini]

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.

[Tate]

I say do it!!!! That’s only a small part of the job! And hey, it’s an experience.

[Michelle&Lolli]

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

[longhairmike]

what do you guys have against recycled paper?

[jerseygirl]

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.

[Lintini]

I don’t get the recycled paper joke T_T

I don’t know, I’m still thinking about it.
