Has anyone ever purchased or run a delivery route?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Funny, every time i try to sell something on ebay, i don't sell it.

Well he might be, but all I know is he's a pretty happy, smart guy who goes on vacation every couple of months and has a new house with a stay at home wife.

I knew a guy too that delivered for them for a year that has a different story.

He didn't get summers off like teachers do, didn't make 50k and definitely worked plenty of days past sundown.

He said the best time was the two weeks of training where they sampled all the foods.

Well they all work mostly past sundown because that's when the customers are home.

Welp, I guess some guys prefer working in the evening over the morning.

Presentation is the key. I see people trying to sell that they poorly describe and price too high. They have one picture and it's a stock photo. They're too ing lazy to actually put effort into it.

Yeah that has to be it. I may keep trying until I figure out what makes a person want to view an item.

Thus the question about experience

There are established sales/deliveries like Snap-On and Mac for tools, Schwans for food, and I'm sure several others. I can't imagine anything like this being a good steady salary. I see this good for those already retired or wealthy, and just want to work part time to stay working.

Link: Schwans

I should start up with buying Schwans again. I used to be a regular customer in the 90's before I was laid off from a good paying job. Their food products are top notch, and their bacon is about 50% meat rather than 80+% fat.

holy moly! I hate bacon fat. you might have just given me a reason to contact them. You should see me at the grocery store going through every darn bacon pack trying to find one that actually has some meat

I seldom buy bacon any more. Love it though. I'm the same way in the stores.

Most recently I was working in the education industry in an operational role. Most of my experience, however, has been in finance / banking which is where I want to be. I just earned my MBA with a finance concentration in December. I would like to be a financial analyst or credit analyst (to start). I have experience with the latter on the consumer side.

You've prolly looked into this already, but JPMorgan has like 4,000 openings right now. They're hiring like crazy.

Maybe it's different in commercial banking and "analyst" means something different, but on the investment banking/securities/etc. side MBAs are applying for associate level position.

+1...funny you mention this b/c my driver today is inside Dadeland Mall shopping as we speak. He justs buys a bunch of shoes (mostly Jordans) that are on sale and sells them for double on ebay. He's been doing it for 6-7 months now w/ success.

I have a really good Jew friend who's in residency at Brown right now, and all through college he paid our fraternity dues with money he got from selling tickets to Katy Perry, Ashley Simpson, Miley Cyrus, etc. was hilarious. It was smart though because he'd stalk ticket sites and buy 5-8 quality tickets as soon as they became available. Then he'd wait until like 2 weeks before the show and sell them for like to 5x more than he paid. He tried to find shows that young girls would go to because he figured their stupid parents would drop big money on birthdays and such so their daughters could go see those terrible acts.

This isn't a new concept by any means, but not many 19 year olds think that way. Dude had a strong Jew game. Great learning experience, tbh.

I used to run a route for McKesson. Made good money for awhile but the pay steadily declined as the guy giving the routes got to be a greedy got so i left him high and dry the second i collected my last check.
