WIYGW (part 3)

Well, the rumors are true, I finally am earning a paycheck. I started work today for the Pilkington Company, a firm that distributes auto glass to dealers and glass installers. my primary responsibility will be the delivery side, but I will also help out in picking orders from the warehouse to be loaded on trucks later. The trucks we use are equivalent to GMC Savannahs or Chevy 2500s (large vans). They have racks inside with enough room to handle up top 30 panes of glass. I load my vehicle at least twice daily before I make my runs. Again I am amazed at the scope of American business. Do you know how many different types of auto glass there is? Neither do I, but judging by the size of the warehouse, there must be at least 5000 distinct styles. Anyway it should be an interesting 10 weeks.
