Business Outlook
Pros
Steady 40-hour workweek (or a little more than 40). They will find something for you to do if your route is light. Never had a problem with crazy amounts of overtime, but a 45-hour week wasn't unusual. (But I've heard they had much heavier routes a few years back; I don't know what'll happen in the future.) Flexible start times; most drivers tended to start around 6:30 am but they're ok with any start time that works with your route, and most customers don't care when you show up.
Cons
Hazmat means you're subject to lots of regulations. Corporate also imposes a lot of additional safety rules; most of the rules make sense, but sometimes the rules can be over the top.
