Bit like you I did a decade of catering and retail customer facing jobs. Last year I got my cat C licence and I’ve been doing multi drop work delivering catering supplies to the sort of places I used to work in since December.
The number of hours I work had shot up. I barely see my wife and kid in the week. But I have every Sunday off and do one Saturday a month which is far far better than I ever had in catering. So I do actually get more quality time with the family.
My salary has pretty much doubled from what I made as a supervisor.
I prefer being out and about, I enjoy the challenge of planning my day and getting my drops off. Though it is at times stressful. I like the customer interaction and I deliver to some decent people. Less complaints and they’re easier to resolve than in old job.
Overall I’m really glad I made the move into trucking. Now it’s all getting more experience in this game.
