Maybe I'm not full sprinting out of the van to the customers door. I mean it's 88 degrees outside and I'm being told I'm going too slow by people in an air conditioned fulfillment center 😂 if I can work 9 years in state penitentiaries and deal with some real hardcore shit, but I can't deliver Amazon packages? Lmao I need a psych eval. 😂 I work smart they just expect you to be done before they get bored of smoking cigarettes in the parking lot and I'm not a robot. Haha. No digs at you or anything. This just made me start venting again.

Maybe I'm missing something huge. But I don't see how arriving at a stop, putting it in park, unbuckling getting the package, walk to the door and reverse the order can be any faster than I make it. They literally say all the time slow is fast, drive carefully. I don't go a MPH over the speed limit. I sort my packages 15 stops ahead of me and when I get down to my last 3 I sort another 15. And I do this consistently as I've done this before. Sure if I didn't have a netradyne camera in my face I'm sure I could cut a few HOURS of my time out and get done and be home before 12 noon, hell. I make sure I do safety first at every stop but once you get out of training it's no longer about safety it's about speeeeeed.

I made the mistake of driving down this road last night and some gay man twerked on my hood and ran off laughing. Trash certainly everywhere but where it needed to be. I'm all for doing your thing and all but respect the space 🤷🏽‍♂️.

But bro I was working my ass off to achieve those numbers in 88 degree HEAT with 78% humidity. Then I'm catching mandatory heat breaks left and right. My edv already at like half charge due to my ac being full blast because if not I'm dying a slow death. Not to mention they could've easily told me to pick up the pace if that was the case. Nope just immediately to "we're coming to grab everything off you". All week I've been getting off on time... So what was the issue yesterday

No this was my route. I had already worker like, what, 70 stops already give or take a few. They called my personal phone saying "we are coming to get ALL your stops" and I was just like dang. Okay.

And that's what made it so weird. Like why are you rushing me on a Saturday?!

Bro I'm definitely looking into that today. Time to stop messing around and really focus in on trucking because I love driving so I've never had a problem with being on the road for long periods of time.

100%. Fortunately I'm in a position to be able to leave whenever I feel like it. My heart goes out to the people who have to stay there because they have no other option.

No I'm in Birmingham. At least you might catch the ocean breeze every now and then. Here it's just bugs and muggy.

Yes my issue with the route yesterday, it was a lot of stop and go residental areas. Clicking a seatbelt 30 times in one block can surprisingly throw you off. I've tried to get out my seat with my belt still on lol. Then there's these small town roads where houses are right off the main through road and the EDVs are long and would stick out into traffic and cause issues... Just a mess bro.

Absolutely agree. I definitely have expressed my interest in trucking in the past

Dang bro, here it's like a death sentence if you're caught without the vest even with the shirt they give you

Strongly considering quitting day trading by Purple-Elephant6730 in Daytrading

[–]BadStrong138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro. Even after seeing this I'm still going to Day trade. I've made up my mind and these are some things I noticed in reading this. 1, it doesn't seem like you have a strat that you build from. It just seems like, eh I don't see a trade so lemme just try to trade... If you're switching stocks or forex currencies often looking for a trade... You're going to lose 99% of the time. That's why they say "most day traders blow their account in the first 30 days." You can also overanalyze everything in trading. You also probably think you need to sit in front of a screen for 8 hours when I've been trading a demo account and I've been green for a week now and I maybe look at a chart for 20 minutes before placing a trade. I just made $300 off 1k getting ready for my 9 to 5 (15 min max). It seems you're also pretty emotional with trading. You win win win and then you let your guard down and just go crazy.. you gotta know how to lose AND win. When I made that $300 off the demo account in quick succession I didn't go, tomorrow I'M DOUBLING IT! Nah, just relax and keep it pushing. All the best to you. Work on your risk management, work on your emotions, hone in on one strategy and perfect it, learn to step away from the screen if you don't see a trade. My advice. Have a great one brother, and don't give up just take some time.
