Pros
IF you are lucky enough to get a small route, you can work about 4hrs a day and still get a daily base pay (if your contractor offers a day rate)
Cons
No benefits, no union protection, 1 week PTO/sick days and that's it, no retirement, and not enough of a weekly paycheck to actually save money for your own retirement in a meaningful way. This is a GIG job for very temporary young drivers who just need fast money. I've worked here 5 years and while I've enjoyed running my routes to maximize my day pay value, my body is catching up to all the strain that causes over time. And I am left without any options to pay for that, except out of my own pocket, because frankly the pay here is so bad, that you can't even afford to pay for private health insurance. If you can, it's because you are living very frugally in other areas, such as having a POS vehicle, or living in a slum apartment.
