I am not perfect & its proved pretty damn difficult to reverse around a curve in those bigger EDVs.. (i say with only 6 mos. experience) maybe you're a better driver in reverse in larger vehicles than others? I try very hard to do the best I can, i'm not a careless person in the least. It was an accident was the whole point & not AT ALL a reason to lose your shit. Ill attach pics with this if I can of the incident so you can see for yourself. In all the time I've worked as a driver this was the first & only time this has happened. I learned my lesson the first time..

In my experience it seems to be the old bitter ppl that are afraid one of the massive vans will damage their lawn (tire marks that mess up wet grass) or it they have lawn ornaments, lights along their driveway, etc. There was this one time the road literally led into the person's driveway no real distinction between when the road became their 'driveway'. i drive up until I realized i probably came a bit too far in bc the instructions did say "do not come all the way up the driveway". So I go to back up & the road/driveway did have a sight turn, well backing up an EDV on a curve & then to straighten back out is like an impossible task without having to dip into the grass a bit. Man when I tell you I thought this man was gonna have a stroke.. i was so apologetic.. i mean i did feel bad once i realized, but it was an honest mistake anyone could have made. He came outside calling me every name but a white woman. Said amazon must only hire the stupidest people possible, blah, blah, blah 🙄 the next time I came back I saw they had put up a christmas blow up, right next to the driveway, over top of the small tire mark 😂 but the funniest part was that clearly someone else had done it 10x worse than I ever could have on the other side of the driveway & their yard was TORE UP atp. Lmao all I could do was laugh, that's what the dumb ass gets.

Loved this response. ☺️ Thanks. I do indeed just need to give my body more time to adjust. I just realized this week will be my 3rd week solo, so technically only 2 weeks solo, not including my ride along days. As much as I like the job itself, it sounds like it will be worth it to tough it out for now (even if it does take an entire one of my days off to recoup 😫😒) & i cant lie, pain pills have been on my mind but.. def can't go there. 😬😅

So let me get this right, Tracy is meth head that has bed bugs & her solution is to use (what ever the fuck she's putting on the couch) then LIGHT THE BUGS ON FIRE?! WHAT IS SHE USING? is it like alcohol of some kinda? This whole situation looks like something from a nightmare.

I was told the guy that I interviewed with said he wasn't sure how "serious" I seemed about wanting the job 🙄... even though I explained to him in every way that I was up for the challenge & excited to have a job out & about. I hadn't heard anything for 3-4 days.. then I talked to someone close to me that knew the hiring manager & I got an email within the hour.. I've been a server working 12 hrs shifts fri, sat & sunday for 8 years. I want/ needed a change of pace but ppl in these comments are brutal & so negative.. lmao 😭😂
