    That has been my plan and still is but I just wanted some advice on it. My dog gets to come with me that's a big plus for me and I get along with the owner great. And the routes are pretty easy.

    Hold your own taxes 1099? If so your taking the shaft real hard at 800 a week gross I'm assuming.

    $800 after taxes, with benefits, would be okay.

    $800 before taxes, with no benefits, kinda sucks hard.

    850 a week
    60 plus hours
    No benefits or taxes taken out
    No.... It's not worth it (in my opinion)

    That's averages around $14/hr with no benefits. Not really that good.

    Or $12 / hr, if you assume time and a half after 40 hours, for comparison with jobs that quote pay rates that way.
