I’ve had enough of my coworkers being assholes, so I’m trying to go back to working on my own. Tomorrow, I have an interview with a company that delivers for Amazon. The good news:

It’s closer than my current job

The vans are smaller than my current dump trucks

It’s four days at 10 hours each, so I get three days off including two consecutive. Currently, I get two non-consecutive days off, so I can hardly do things.

It pays more than my current job.

It pays more than my current job.

I get to listen to my own music.

It pays more than my current job.

I get to say I drive a Mercedes.

The bad news:

The hours are 10: 30AM -8: 00PM, so I can’t do much during the week.

No long-distance jobs, so it’s a lot of quick stops. That’s more of a neutral point though, but I would slightly prefer a few long drives to a billion short ones.

So a bunch of pros and one maybe two cons. Good luck; hope you land the job.

delivering for amazon?

is that actually 10 hours

or we’ve calculated your route should take ten hours

(ive worked in the posty business and know they calculate base on perfect world circumstances)

I’m not 100% sure, but over the phone they mentioned that there’s a decent chance of finishing early, in which case you’d go out and help someone else finish up. I’ll ask tomorrow to clarify what that all means, but it does sound like it cuts off after 10 hours ( plus a half hour break).

if theres a good chance you finish early so you can help someone else finish up theres a good chance you end up needing help finishing up

but im not trying to rain on your parade here just advising caution

good luck :)

I think @farscythe has a definite point. They’re going to say whatever it takes to make you think ‘you may finish early’ and minimize the reality. Even though they say ‘cuts off at 10 hours’.

It’d be ideal if you could ask some current drivers for the truth. There’s a reason people say ‘grass is greener on the other side of the fence’.

OTOH, if you’re not able to do anything during the day , it may not matter that you’re working 11 or 12 hours instead of 10.

Me too bud. 9am tomorrow. I’m going back into design engineering after winging it for 8 years as a garden designer. I wish you luck.
