John Stolla
Morton Delivery Driver for 22 years. |
John Stolla has seen a lot in his 22 years as a Morton delivery driver. Longtime customers have passed away, employees have come and gone, and he's absolutely amazed that he ever survived without a cell phone.
"Back when I started (in 1985), there were only three stores in Neenah and Menasha, so if someone needed John, they just called ahead to the next store and left a message for me."
Even after putting in an average of 90 miles a day, John still wouldn't trade his job behind the wheel for an office job. "I love being out on the road, not stuck inside." In fact he likens his responsibilities to that of a mailman - no matter the weather, deliveries must be made!
Some of the perks to his job are elderly ladies handing him a tin of homemade cookies at the door, or an older person on a fixed income who still attempts to give him a tip.
"I know my stop is very important to many of them. It's my delivery, but it's also a chance to chat a little bit."
