Loads of jobs would be fun like this, if you ignore there is fierce competition leading to loads of scheduling pressure, bad pay, no benefits, existential fears, health implications…
I guess those professions really would be nice if you’re already set for life and just do it for fun, taking only the best jobs, only doing it for 6-8 hours a day max and have days off… generally not giving too much of a fuck.
That’s van trailer work, and it is bullshit. Reefers and van and grocery hauling is exactly what you said. Flatdeck, wide load, grain hauling, fertilizer, etc, there’s very little to none of this. Farmers want their seed and fertilizer delivered before spring, and what they are selling delivered sometime this winter. Pays better too. Dealerships just want their cars delivered undamaged, if they’re a day late, no one cares. Days off are mandated, although you may not be home for them, true enough. I lived in a truck for 4 years and found myself able to write out a check for my house.
