    i know i've said food delivery is NOT a good way to go in general. And i still believe that, in general.

    However, for those that need A LOT of money quick, this might be the ticket?

    It's food service; I wouldn't do it for a million dollars.
    It's ok for a new driver that needs some quick cash.

    That's pretty nice.

    I recall I was worth a thousand after 7 piddling months long ago.

    When we were a team running for McKesson we were occasionally offered 5000 and up to transfer to the new employer. That was back in the 2000's era.

    This is good money, but be warned. YOU WILL WORK. IF you don't yet understand the definition of that type of work with a delivery tractor trailer in that environment don't do it. If you are strong as a battleship you likely will be able to stay on long enough to collect that whole thing. But if you are weak, you will get what you stayed long enough to get before moving on to easier work.

    One thing you must do. IF anything at all... put that money aside and DO NOT TOUCH IT. When you finish working and adding to that pile with your normal pay you should be sitting very nicely.

    I'd have done it when I was younger. Good work out.

    i'm not saying the craigslist ad is wrong, but i heard on the radio (which is how i found out about this bonus) that it's $3000 after two months, 3500 or something after 6 months and the rest of the balance after 12 months. Or something like that. At any rate, the $12 grand would be paid in full by 12 months.

    So maybe different regions have different timetables?

    What, exactly, does Maines deliver?
