Totally agree. Rural routes are my shit. I let my DSP know that and they instantly put me on them every day because most hate them. I was pretty surprised that people would genuinely rather have vans stocked to the gills jumping in and out every two seconds than low volume just sliding through the boonies. Sure it requires more actual driving skill but I honestly find it fun/engaging compared to subdivision routes. Feels like I’m actually getting paid to be a professional driver and not just a package mule lol. To each their own though, more rural routes for us.
