      Facts.
      1. 10:20-8:20....in the ghetto.. sometimes I don't get back home until 10pm and I'm gone from 9:30am-10pm
      2. The 30min commute both ways to the job and home
      3. The loose pitbulls trying to bite you (irresponsible dog owners / neighbors - making it impossible to deliver to the house) - I got bit once..(didn't break skin)
      4. The ammount of expectations to work safely, yet rushed + cameras + ai tracking = stressful as fuck
      5. Dealing with terrible drivers that speed, run red lights, don't stop for stop signs, parked in the middle of the 4 way intersecion to have a conversation with someone they know
      6. The commute to the delivery area 30-50min drives... (hoping there ain't not major pileup) - usually don't get there until 12-12:20...
      7. Customers that want extra steps
      8. Apartments that are impossible to access & can't mark it unable to deliver due to the orange circle being out of reach.
      9. Dispatchers expecting you to finish 160-200 stops within 8hrs... including driving back to the hub + gas + park + not getting your break
      10. The wheather (still expected to finish the route in a timely manner )
      11. The non-existant benefits
      12. Never getting 40hrs a week despite being full time
      13. Possibility to lose a days of work due to customer feedback / low fico score
      14. Having to drive unsafe vans... even if the brakes need to be replaced & backup camera's don't work,
      15. no where to use the bathroom (I feel bad for my female coworkers)
      16. Business routes / college campus's
      17. The pay being under $20...

    Brother I just quit today, mid route too. The first thing you mentioned about the temperature was one of my reasons. It's hot as hell like 90+, your sweating bullets looking for the mf packages, getting in and out of the van walking up to the houses over and over, while the suns beating down on you, your holding up traffic with your hazards, karens are getting mad at where you parked. Sometimes ya can't even find a good spot for the house so you gotta walk a bit. I was like f this im out. I will say I tip my hat to those who deal with it cause its NOT easy!

    They gave me a low roof uhaul van with 190 stops. I had to crawl to get in there and litteraly pull the totes out on the street to get to the right one. I still went to work but what really made me quit was the day they kept texting and adding pressure to go even faster. Im running 🏃‍♂️ to every stop. Not taking lunch breaks i told myself its over.

      thats my biggest complaint when i work. I NEVER been rescued but ive done them countless times in my 4-5 months of being here.
