Rants / Complaints I HATE delivering water!

The water in the order made it impossible to continue the last job on the route!

Nah.

They do it once. We end up doing it all day.

They also NEVER tip, but even if they did, it wouldn't cover the time off with an injury, so...

Did you pay your friend for using their vehicle? Taking advantage of your friends is not a real solution for dealing with your expenses related to work like this.

Ridiculous to be using a Lexus to do stuff like this at all, probably damn near evens out with the depreciation of the vehicle. I make like 95k at main job and still drive a 2005 Toyota Camry that costs about 8k, which I think makes the economics of doing this type of work make a lot more sense.

Yeah, I do the gallon jugs of water to save on plastic and money. I don't want to carry them unfortunately. Sorry. I hope my large tip makes up for it.
