    I did some of those loads when the company took a few the regular carriers couldn't handle. It's not worth it. Most of the people you deal with at those places, Dollar General, K-Mart, etc. are a bunch of slugs making minimum wage and think they have power over you. Then once you leave the store, they are back to their miserable lives.
     
    BostonTanker, thejackal and Weeezerd Thank this.

    For the most part, on family dollar, I have not encountered this problem minus 1 store.
    Not to say it doesn't happen.
    Average about 50 hers work a week then home.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Ya.
    It's difficult but rewarding physical work.
    It has its good days and bad.
