    The routes differ from warehouse to warehouse, warehouse to store, store to store and store to either business or home delivery?

    LMAO! There's your answer OP! ^^^^^^^^

    You better make a solid hourly rate and like to risk hurting yourself constantly while dealing with people who barely have a pulse.

    Everywhere I've picked it up or delivered it the people on both ends have the work ethic of a turd so I wind up doing most of the work if I want to get out of there that day.

    YMMV.....

    I wouldn’t want any parts of delivering furniture. God only knows what stupidity the buyer might demand.

    If you're delivering to retail stores it's relatively easy. Just bring it to the back of the trailer.

    That certainly would be. Going from the store to the buyer’s house though is quite another story. It’s usually contractors who do that and they drive barely roadworthy 6-wheelers, much like the cartage companies Saia and New Penn use to take their freight to the eastern shore here in MD.

    Actually yes I do... loading and unloading trucks is what I'm the best at and I've been doing it on and off since I was 18yrs of age

    I have to get myself into a position mentally and I'm going to get delivery driver experience before I get my cdl...
