[QUOTE="Over 70, post: 2837386, member: 65928"] Drivers are a tough bunch. It's not that any specific aspect of the job in itself is hard, it's the combination of everything and the non stop relentless grind of it. I'm going through the same stuff your husband is as a driver of a little less than a year. Luckily I did my homework here first so I knew what to expect and have a good flexible job outside of here. There's a bunch of days working inside that I ask myself what the hell I'm doing here because 11/hr mine as well be working for free to me but every time I take a route out I know why. I truely love delivering. My other job works even longer hours in harsher conditions so I'm conditioned there and kinda just said well I'm gonna work long hours either way, mine as well enjoy it. If this really doesn't work out I just plug right into my old job making slightly more than top rate/hr.... It's really not for everyone. I know some real workers and they would probably say screw this. A guy that has the right body, right approach (work smart), and the mental maturity to let management stuff fly in one ear and out the other can have an enjoyable career I think. I went into it knowing what kinda pricks I'd be dealing with...my old man used to always says if you want to screw the company, do exactly as they say lol. [/QUOTE]
