    I saw their ad. Thinking about applying as I’m looking to move back to NH. How many hours a day they have you working?
    During the winter I cranked out 100 doing fuel oil deliveries, burned me out and got killed on taxes.
    Ideally 4-10 hour days for this now single male after everything I’ve been through.
    You single men don’t know, you’re getting killed on taxes after 43 hours and your health suffers greatly

    Had to walk from circle to X with 120 cases stack by stack. No one told me to grab a 6 wheel cart before I left. Hot as hell.

    Holy #### man.. Well you’re not lazy thats for one thing. Food service jobs are for guys that like to move around alot. In the end of the day im pretty sure your company is taking care of you man

    Those are the worst deliveries.. on my first day out with the manager we delivered 85 cases to a dock they told us to bring to, 5:30am and as im taking down my 2wheeler with the last cases the customer says that the location is at the wrong place. Long story short my trainer ended up talking to the guy for a half an hour and we still had to move the cases outta there
     
    Radman Thanks this.
