    The question that needs to be answered for yourself is why do you get depressed when you're away from "home"

    I did it for 12 years. I don't how they do it either. Three nights a week in the truck is all I do and all I'll ever do again. Familiar routes and the same customers. Been there and done all that exploring BS. It was fun but never again.

    Run!....don't walk away from that company. Have you noticed that you are netting less than minimum wage? Most guys quit in under 3 months. They shake your hand and move on to the next sucker.

    You are missing out man you get to see the whole country and get paid doing it. I miss driving but I have a daughter now and don't want to miss her growing up. So possibly in the near future I'll be back on the road again.

    You'll get depressed seeing the same #### every day working a local job. I don't know how anyone can work in the same building every day seeing the same 4 walls and the same people for years, i personally can't do it.
