Figured I’d do a quick update...
I had orientation at their Bellingham MA location Monday and Tuesday. Drove down Sunday afternoon and got up and left at 3am wednesday, partially to skip out on the 495 traffic but mostly because I’d been getting up around then for a couple days to get acclimated to the schedule.
Trained yesterday and today, and will again tomorrow. My schedule is Mon, Thurs, Fri, Sat, 2:30a start time unless my previous day dictates otherwise due to the 10hr break. So far I couldn’t be more pleased. I wanted a driving job that pays well, is active, day shift (is it though?), and local. I feel like I did the absolute best I could do to check those boxes, so I’m happy.
I couldn’t imagine coming at this job as an OTR guy or someone who isn’t used to an active day though. It is legit work. I’be spent the past two years on a farm so I’m pretty used to it, but it’s no joke. Certainly more physically demanding than farming. To me, as an althetic 26 year old, it’s an appealing aspect.
Question to any other food service guys that might see this, what do you wear for underwear in the summer heat? Seriously. I’ve got some really nice underwear that are almost perfect, but they still bunch with all the moving around. After 12-14 hours in the heat and humidity, that could turn to a painfully chaffed situation haha

Do you get pay the same when you go out as the helper? And how many stops do you average a day ?
