I hope he succeeds, this is great vis for Dylan, no I'm not affiliated. If my consumer deliveries came from a themed service with this level of attention to detail, I'd see no reason not to pay the premium. Hell, I can't keep UPS from backing through the edge of my yard.
*cough cough* As your attorney, I can neither confirm nor deny exactly how long it took you to traverse the United States. I would also suggest you refrain from admitting to driving in excess of DOT hours of service. Some states DO treat hotshots as commercial vehicles, and you're running DOT #'s. Repeat after me, "This interview was for entertainment purposes only." Believe me, you don't want to be in a scale house with Officer Rinaldi or Kline.
FYI: That Sears thermal typewriter is a rebadge of a Brother EP-20, and it's from 1983. If you care, there are better thermal typewriters for your needs than that one. I'd maybe seek out a Sharp PA-1000. That one has a small battery powered internal memory so you can recall a header and footer on the page, and just type up the middle bit. They're kind of scarce, but not too expensive when they do show up on the market. For real style points, get yourself a 1960s Smith-Corona Skyriter and pull that out to do invoices. Pretty cheap due to how common they were, and small enough to fit under an airplane seat (hence the name.) Earlier models had an integrated hard case while the later ones had a leatherette case. The ribbon should be infinitely more sourceable than the thermal transfer ribbon for that Brother, uses no batteries, and you can do carbon copies because it's a standard typebar typewriter.
That's what it was! For the sake of the video I couldn't remember because it was on the spot of course. And if I was going 73 or before for that, I'd be using the portable Remington I have at home. There's a time and a place for everything, and at the time, this unit was 15 dollars in the factory packaging. So it made sense financially for someone starting a company.
Dude I hope you get Dylan back for another episode or podcast. He absolutely fits your channel: random trivial knowledge of old tech, living his best life without a single care what anyone thinks, and so obviously a sleeper furry.
My Great-Great-Grandmother was supposed to be a passenger on the Titanic. Fortunately, her horse got sick and she was late getting to the dock, and she… Mr. Ship.
There is fan fic in my head where Mr. Ship is tricked into accepting a human trafficking job, but is too devoted to his character image of the cheerful delivery guy to refuse. And it just gets worse the longer it goes. But then in the end, he redeems himself... somehow.
In the end He makes the delivery, cheerfully gets the bad guy to sign for the “package”, & as he drives away he sees a swarm of cop cars fly past in the other direction. Unbeknownst to them, he’s been subtly leaving clues along the way which would lead police right to the traffickers. Just another successful delivery for Mr. Ship.
Can I have contact info? A man like this is incredibly useful when it comes down to it. I know a lot of people outside of the industrial manufacturing community doesn't understand the value of someone this awesome, but this is a rare jewel. Y'all don't understand the bullshit involved in shipping a piece of machinery across the country. I'd rather have this solid dude drive me gear than an a mltinational company lose it because SAP decided to hate you today.
There's another fellow on TH-cam that resurrected an early 70s Bell System Telephone service van. He dressed the part of a serviceman, and degraded the footage to look like a circa 1974 faded 16mm company film. Mr Ship has a similar look and feel. Kudos to you, Mr Ship and RCR.
@@ItzzzBeamo haha unfortunately unless I land someone needing something taken there from here on the bigger side I'll be coming in something a bit more fuel efficient this year.
Wasnt expecting to hear aboit Data General. I'm a 70s computer fan and love the look at Data General. Also, really recommend Tracy Kidders book about Data General and the development of the Eclipse MV/8000, The Soul of a New Machine. Interesting and comes just as they were starting to fall behind.
I noticed the furfest sticker on the radio in the first vid and wondered if anyone else noticed. it becomes even more obvious when you realize the logo is a humanoid dog.
Unfortunately not a lot is seen by the cameras but I have semi-trailer tie down straps I use to barricade me from heavier cargo, about 10 sets of different gauge ones to secure loose pallets, and 3 different hitches and my first aid stuff all under the front buckets.
People that say there were no good cars after '72 are just wrong. There were plenty of good cars made, certainly through '74 like the Pontiac 455 Super Duty, Ford 351C, Mopar's E68 400 and E86 440 before the Catalyst in '75 and by '77 Pontiac was climbing back with the W72 that hung in there through '79. Light trucks weren't catalyzed until '79 so all the 4bbl small and big blocks were available. 1980 through 1982 were the true dark days. Then by '83 the 302 4bbl was back in the Mustang and by '85 the L98 Corvette began the climb to the point performance has reached today. I appreciate his Introspection that the early 70s were the beginning of the downslide of the quality of life one can expect as an American citizen. I am so fed up with the USA I am taking my retirement at 40 and going to Brazil for greater pastures. Oh well. Get a passport boys, there are opportunities out there in this world, lack of Amercentric dominance doesn't have to get you down.
I love this guy. You gotta have him on a podcast because he's so in depth and clear with his words.

I agree I really like this guy, he’s so quirky and enthusiastic, I want to hear more about him

Nah. I'm under 10k pounds and my DOT is no longer active. I'm a commuter.
Saw this van in a parking lot during Furrydelphia 2023. Wanted to get a picture with it so bad so thank you Mr.KutztownDragon for showing it off!

How can you tell he's a furry?
Aside from the suspiciously furry company mascot he has a bunch of furry stickers on the inside of the van@@anangrywhiteguy4689
@@anangrywhiteguy4689 if you look at 1:45 on the main video, he's got some furry stickers on his toolbox. also the dog mascot
based and true
@@dmalama47WHAT
A GODDAMN
CHAD you are, good sir
Love the mascot
My Great-Great-Grandmother was supposed to be a passenger on the Titanic. Fortunately, her horse got sick and she was late getting to the dock, and she… Mr. Ship.
I like the character on the van!
Dylan is a cool guy
I love to see another furry living their best life.
This guy ships.
Very fascinating way to do business. And like others have commented in the first video, you’ll remember this guy later on.
When he goes for a haircut he brings a picture of Mr. Forman from That 70’s Show for reference.
Truly living the dream, congrats

He goes from delivery man to Rambo.... Be sure to credit me when you write the film.

What an awesome dude. You can tell he truly loves what he is doing.
I wonder if he’s hotshot delivering anything to Rosemont Illinois this weekend.
Oh I'm "hot shotting" myself lmao
@@dmalama47 So, I might get to see the van >.>

I love this guy! He's a breath of fresh air for today's world. I wish you much success.
we need more people like this guy that do deliveries
Protect him at all costs.
Professional fursona
Literally me
@@dmalama47 holy shit is that you?
Very cool to see this young man so enthusiastic about his job and doing it his way. We should all be so lucky.
He have my respect. This very inspirational. Good job 👏
His dedication is absolutely admirable. May he find all the goddamn success.

We need to see him again.
Forgot about this, so glad it popped up again! Awesome dude, awesome van, awesome videos.
Delightful to watch 🙏
This guy is the best guy. Please have him on a podcast or something.
Good job , Dylan! Hello from Manistee!
Don't forget that the 70s was the last era of the old electro mechanical telephone network as well before everything went digital!
furry stickers
furry stickers
i wanna get one of mine on there!

da furry shipping company
@@dmalama47 got a big load to deliver to MFF uwu
@@HundTheHound LMAO LESS GOOOOO see u there
I noticed the furfest sticker on the radio in the first vid and wondered if anyone else noticed. it becomes even more obvious when you realize the logo is a humanoid dog.
Great interview and doesn't look like that van has cruise control.
This dude is so interesting
Attaboy Dylan!
Mr. McFeely Speedy Delivery!
I’ve seriously been thinking about doing this with the late ‘90s.
You need a replica WebVan.
Not to say I’m super safety man but, his cargo hold downs look a little lacking. A bulkhead would be nice too.
Unfortunately not a lot is seen by the cameras but I have semi-trailer tie down straps I use to barricade me from heavier cargo, about 10 sets of different gauge ones to secure loose pallets, and 3 different hitches and my first aid stuff all under the front buckets.
Hold up, this dude straight up knows Data General! Why do I feel like I've run into this guy before. Nova 1200, baby!
They sure don't make them like they use to
I remember when I started college in 1985 we used Digital Vax computers running fortran.
Yuuuuuuuussssss😂

This is a fascinating video and it also demonstrates the need to train oneself not to say erm, um and ah.
Cool guy! But the gas can seems to me really dangerous in case of accident...32 gallons of gasoline spraying around...Please consider! Stay safe!
