It’s about to be a full two years since I started the whole delivery driver side gig here in Amarillo. I am still doing it pretty much a little bit every day. I have lost some love for it, but I haven’t stopped.
They have made it a little more difficult to be excited about it with the low driver pay and high driver expectations. I am that person who likes to keep a platinum status. When the goal was to be a top dasher, the numbers were a little easier to maintain.
