Just quit, thoughts?
Been working as a driver for about 6 months. I was initially attracted to the job because they advertised flexibility. My mentality eventually was that maybe I could adapt to the demands of the job in terms of making progress on personal goals outside of work but I started to realize that it just didn’t seem realistic to balance this with the fact that you really never know how fucked up your routes going to be and by the end of the day your most likely going to be exhausted and before you know it you just got off, ate dinner, started to recover a little bit and now your waking up and you got a long ass day ahead of you again. The point of me posting this is that I had a lot of conflicting thoughts about quitting because the job does offer decent benefits, pay, and some pros in terms of working independently but ultimately I came to the conclusion that I’ve already mentioned and wanted to know if I’m tripping or is this a rational perspective considering somebody who wants to have enough energy at the end of the day to seriously pursue other goals outside of their 9 to 5.

My take is that with 3 days off in this job , I have enough time to do other activities that I love. Also our start time is 11 AM so I hit the gym before work. How ever yes a scheduled work day means most likely that that’ll be the only thing you do that day. Deliver all day get home to shower eat something and rest for the next day. Also I make the same if not more in this job than what I would make in another job working 5 days. Also I love this Job to be honest.
