Along with farming, Verus drove a big green truck in which he carried the farmers milk to the town of Williamsport. It didn't matter what kind of weather or where the farm was located in the community, Verus was dependable. For a time, Verus worked at 'The Motors' Avco in Williamsport. One time one of his co-workers played a trick on him. The man greased the wheels on a cart Verus had to wheel around. Verus found out who had done such a dangerous and foolish trick and the next morning when the man came to work, Verus was waiting for him. He grabbed the man by the throat and told him to never do that trick again. The man never fooled around with Verus Metzger again.
