I watched my ex do that job for over 30 years and it's not an easy job at all. Missed baseball games, school events and many other things due to having to get that load to where it had to be by a certain time! It's a hard life for everyone involved but they don't get the thanks they deserve! He had to hang it up after 33 years due to his eyes. He doesn't miss that schedule but that pay, well that's another story! Lol!
