That is exactly why I got into this business. Tried local beverage delivery for a short time......hated it. 3 of the most important words for me in a job description are NO TOUCH FREIGHT.
Thought the grass was greener

I know a guy that delivered propane cylinders and bulk propane for large tanks to a nudist community in Tennessee. He didn't complain about the customers.
Once a year he had to paint the larger tanks at the homes, so he'd wait until the hot summer months when lots of guests were visiting.Lumper Humper, austinmike, firemedic2816 and 3 others Thank this. -
Joy can only come from Jesus Christ and happiness is a decision. There are those that will never be thankful for anything. Their misery is contagious.
Pick a job, and stick with it for a while. All things new can be stressful, but in time become relative and sometimes we are glad that we gave it a chance.
I remember in the Air Force, because of my rank, they moved me up to a position that I thought I would hate. It ended up being a very rewarding and fun job. A lesson learned.. be careful about judging a new opportunity without giving it time.Last edited: Oct 5, 2020

I hope I never have to go back to doing local. Way too much traffic, stress, and slipseating in disgusting trucks...all for less money too. -
I deliverd 8, 8ft skids to a hopital today. PettyBone unload for all of it.
Left a TommyGate at another customer today.
Delivered a tanning booth to a Salon last week. GREAT looking, business owner.
The work is good for you and gets you out from behind the wheel. Get some exercise, and MOVE AROUND. This is vital for your health. Sit too long and your risk of developing blood clots increases. -
