I'll put you in for a Presidential Commendation........But the fact of the matter still exists. You got paid BY THE HOUR and without having to put a nickel's worth of personal investment at risk.
THIS is what makes FXE preferable over FXG when doing rural areas... 4 drivers have quit over my old rural route already and it's not yet 2 months since i transferred (starting salary rate is too low for the amount of driving newbies are getting into ~ no house/mailbox #s, dealing with country dogs, long drives between stops, etc.)
i'm now doing twice the amount of stops in a condensed suburbia setting over the rural route that i used to do without any stress because of area knowledge and that most of my customers had my cellphone #.
sure, i'm in a new town almost every day now. but the BCs set up those sections so i can quickly line up those stops and knock em out. weekend/mondays are sometimes a circus due to add/cuts, but i'm still getting done way before 2000
when im done before rush hour, i'll go see if neighboring ground drivers with heavy pickups need help; i'll take off their resis to make room for more p/up cargo & they can continue on
