Make no mistake, this job is not for the faint of heart. I worked in the moving business for 5 years before working at Unifirst and it was a cakewalk compared to running a route everyday. While there is certainly something uniquely manly and exhilerating about having such an extreme job, I didn't like being so tired in the mornings before and evenings after work that I would fall asleep driving. If you don't plan on doing this long term, then it's difficult to justify putting yourself through all that.
Trucks with no AC, exposure to chemicals, risk of permanent back, knee, shoulder, elbow and wrist injuries. No joke! Do not take what I am saying for granted! This is a dangerous job.
Your customers are at best an odd bunch...at worst they are the dregs of society. Some of my customers I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley...no less see on a weekly basis.
If you're looking for a job and are considering doing this because you feel like you need something quick...I would advise you to remain patient and seriously consider your other options...you don't have to do this to yourself.
