*bounces at @Leucrotta* We had our first drive lesson today!!
@frost Awesome! What'd you think? Because if that works okay, maybe delivery driver is a good fallback!
@Leucrotta I think it went quite well! I was STUNNED how natural driving felt, even after so long.
The guy thinks we should come back for the other two lessons in the nominal 6-hour course (of course 💰). And that we should find some way to practice. If we knew anyone local with a car...
Today was just basic driving on city streets and a bunch of turning.
@Leucrotta I'd look into bus driving, but AC Transit wants 3 years of clean driving hiatory, and SamTrans wants 2. I haven't looked at Muni or VTA but I imagine they're similar.
For semi trucks, Schneider wants 1 year. But Swift says nothing about that AFAWCT...
@Leucrotta For some raisin I figured non-gig delivery services would provide you a company vehicle. Didn't know they were just the employees' vehicles with a sign slapped on top.
@Leucrotta OH! I was thinking things like grocery store resupply trucks and whatnot. You mean like, pizzas and things? ...Is there a delivery market that isn't pizzas? (I can't stand pizza, even the smell of it...)
Gig stuff sounds great too, very low barrier to entry, but probably isn't reliable enough for rent. But better than nothing for sure.
