Life of a delivery driver

I've been a delivery driver for a while now, and I can honestly say that working through bad weather is one of the toughest parts of the job. Most common problem is rain. Delivering in the rain means getting soaked to the bone even when wearing a raincoat. The packages often get wet and it gives me an instant dislike from the customers, even though I did everything I could to protect them. Not to mention the risk that rain contributes to the driving conditions. I see an accident happen in front of me almost every time it rains. Delivering in 100-degree weather is brutal as well. The AC in the truck just can’t win the fight against heat. There are days when I feel like I’m going to pass out from the heat. On the opposite end winter is something on another level. All the problems I’ve already mentioned - combined. Bad driving conditions, van heating working like a maniac trying to keep the temperature high, numb fingers… It probably seems like I’m exaggerating but it’s just how I feel. All of this made me start looking for a career change and I’m hoping to do it before the next winter. Stay safe out there, and DON’T TOUCH THE WHEEL. Ever.
