[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 992429, member: 33696"] all that talk about heat & wearing caps... I rather be in the summer environment than in a winter environment... I work faster when it's warm:sweating: & I mainly lose weight during this time since I eat light & mainly hydrate during the day road conditions are mostly dry:plus: sunlight for most of the day until past 20:00:sunny: customers in skimpy gear:wink-very: I get a cool trucker's tan on my left side :likeit: ----------------------------------------------- winters sucks since i'm paid by the stop by subcontractors, not by the hour during that time of holiday peak... snow/ice road conditions will slow my SPORH big time. This is the main reason why I switch back into getting paid by a temp agency (they pay per-hour + OT) some of those contractors are too cheap to switch over to winter type tires. I've only known 2 that had backup rims with all-terrain type deep tread tires for the drive wheels drivers drive too fast for conditions, like it wasn't even snowing/raining/ice on the roads. False sense of security with those AWD/4WD vehicles, so they speed past you, only to find them in the ditch down the road... people don't shovel / salt their driveways - walkways... slows down my day even more. I gotta walk like a penguin to avoid falling down on my back. sun goes down earlier, so I carry 2 lights to find house numbers... :minus: stops per hour goes out the window then... luckily, there wasn't a blizzard condition this past peak season, like the past 2 other years in a row ------------------------------- so, do you like working in hot or cold conditions?
