[QUOTE="999555888222, post: 123122"] I have been driving for about two months now, hired as a casual with the hope of being kept on permanently after the holidays. For you to be hired off the street permanently is rare. As far as being a driver goes, it's physically demanding and can be very aggravating. If you're not in decent shape, you're going to have a rough time. Once you've been on the job a couple weeks you'll understand what aggravation means. Once throughthe training class (2 weeks) and in your center you will have about 3 days on the road with a supervisor. After that it's sink or swim. The average veteran driver in my center does 110-125 stops a day - I do 150-180 because I'm dirt as a casual and not in the union. Words of advice: you have to hussle all day, but take your time to do things right and safe. If you get hurt or in an accident you are finished. Take a lunch. In the beginning you will always be behind, but if you don't take at least 20 minutes to stop, eat and catch your breath each day you willl burn out and quit in a couple weeks. Remember, be safe. Nobody's QVC delivery is more important than your life. [/QUOTE]
