Let us all know how you feel after about 5-10 years (if ya last that long) or if and when you get married and have kids and how that will work into your Family & friends times, and if you do last that long please keep a file on your aches and pains that will develop in due time so we can all compare our notes to yours ok? Give me a break, the ink on your application is still wet and you have yet to see "What Can Brown Do For You?" or is it "What Did Brown Do to You?" Maybe you will throw in the towel and run into on car supedom? There are those that like their jobs, but being just a # since the day you started you will see why others feel the way you do. You will be crapped on soon enough, and after a while that Brown smelly stuff will knock sense into your young head
Didn't he say his Dad is 23 years in as a driver?
Don't you think that affords him a little more frame of reference than you are giving him credit for???
The job is stressful, and complaining helps relieve some of the stress.
I hear this all of the time...and just don't see it???
Once you're qualified this job has
zero stress, unless you put it on yourself by allowing the Company to leverage your personal life against your professional life.
It may be tedious and physical, with the elements and age wearing at you along the way, but if you just come to work with the mentality that you here to sell your time, there is no "stress".
My dad was originally against it but he wants me to get out of the warehouse and go drive as soon as possible now because that’s where he got most injuries. Other than bad weather and a lot of stops, what’s so bad about being a driver?
To the OP, I would say you need to look at what this job is poised to become over the next 30 years and ask yourself if this is a career that may be in jeopardy of being replaced by automation and autonomous vehicles.
I know it seems far fetched, but it really isn't.
Good luck.
