The Route Man

In the 1950's and 1960's drug use and crime rates were sky rocketing all across America's major cities. This specific story takes place in Harlem, Nyc, with an average hardworking man trying to provide for his family while facing the danger that Harlem produced. The job description was a delivery truck driver selling cake on a cash basis to grocers and markets for a small company based out of Nj. Selling cake on a cash basis is what made this job so dangerous and nerve racking with drivers who more then often ended up in the hospital. The company finally found a driver who would be kept on this route and not only get the job done but dealt with these hoodlums. This book has stories not only of the author but stories of others who also had similar problems.
