Did OTR for first six months, now doing regional LTL involving multiple stops per day with tight deadlines to retail stores.
I really hate the tight deadlines tbh and these retail stores can be difficult to maneuver through. I already dinged someone's bumper (very minor damage). But it's a private fleet and I'm only out two nights a week with a full weekend off
Tempted to go with a mega regional dedicated job though. Am I crazy?

My Dad used to say, "the grass may be greener on the other side of the fence, but it still has to be mowed"!

You'll get used to it and get faster with time. 6 months is going to go fast and before you know it, you'll have a couple years under your belt.
But give it TIME.
A side benefit of doing the same route all the time is you know when and where to take breaks. Who your dock people are and how best to get in and out of the stops on your route.Flat Earth Trucker, tscottme, Lumper Humper and 3 others Thank this. -
