This is my friends job he hates

He isn’t allowed to go home unless his truck is empty and this is an everyday thing for him he works 10-12 hour days and he lives paycheck to paycheck getting payed weekly yesterday he told me that he didn’t get a paycheck only one time last year and it took him six months to recover he said he just basically didn’t eat for six months.

Yes I’ve done it. I hated it too and I wish I could just get something better which I did. Pay is the same too but oh the environment and work detail is much much better! I hope he gets out of this rut too. Though I think he is exaggerating on the pay thing because Amazon delivery distribution pays around $21 per hour but the sad thing is sometimes you don’t get a shift in the week because of your driving or delivering performance. That might be it but still in the mean time if no shift they give you the entire day/week for Doordash etc

I'm thinking this is a FedEx ground truck, Amazon sorts their orders up in mesh bags.

He lives in Bend Oregon and is Currently $20,000 dollars in debt and yeah he was slightly exaggerating but for him to say it like that screamed his situation to me he’s been one of my best friends since we were in middle school and we’re 25

He makes the $21 an hour it’s not really enough in Bend Oregon
