>Let's not idealize the situation at other deliveries company. Delivering is not a dream job.

It's not your dream job. My last cab driver immigrated 16 years ago and has been driving 5pm-5am shift for the last 7 years. Full time delivery is a dream in comparison. I don't think he could send his kids to college on Uber.

It's healthy compared to desk work, doesn't require any extensive training, and relatively low stress.

Be cautious when predicting the behavior of others.



Low stress?

Did you ever have to deliver to someone who is away? to an address that doesn't exist? to an address that exists but is located at the wrong place? what when it's inaccessible or has no bell?

That's what you get to deal with every single day, you never know where you gonna be or what's gonna go wrong the next hour. Meanwhile, your delivery time is accounted and customers can complain back about you for anything.
