    For delivering food driving a tractor trailer off loading with a 2 wheeler. Making around 200 a day 5 days a week. Is it worth it even though I'm pulling about 50 hrs.

    3 months. The only bad part is I drive an hour to get to work in the morning. and I want to get out of hustling food because it's all street stops.

    How many miles do you drive a day? How many pieces per stop or on the truck total?

    Well that's pretty good money for a new driver. If your unhappy fill out some applications. But I doubt you will do better until you get more experiance
