I actually didn’t mind the job part of the job. I thought I would hate having my cargo talk to me, but the kids were alright. It was the low pay and management’s bullshit that made it awful.

No way. Did I!?

Thanks so much smart guy!

Actually I found that I stopped getting sick. I guess being exposed to everything in small doses every day strengthened my immune system. 🤷‍♂️

I’m a former truck driver. I went back to school and graduated during the pandemic to an industry that required people to be around eachother. I took the job to tide me over until things opened up again.

Knowing they were short qualified drivers, I was very loud about these issues. I did eventually get my route fixed, but it took 3 months! I quit when I was reprimanded and told to let kids pee their pants after stopping at a gas station to let a little girl pee.

In my area it’s retired people and immigrants. Regardless, the job is a huge responsibility and should pay as such. Safety concerns and late routes should be taken seriously.

I don’t doubt it. I drove a school bus for three years. The companies don’t give a fuck about anything but money.

Your route is literally impossible to do because of the laws of physics? Tough shit. Routes go over an hour and a kid has to pee? Let them pee their pants. Also, we’re going to pay you minimum wage while being responsible for a heavy vehicle carrying 30+ children in rush hour traffic. These are the problems drivers face. Its why they have like 300% turnover.
