Pros

Independent Contractor, Flexible Shifts, morning routes mean less traffic, get paid twice a week, and drive your own car.

Cons

McKinney hub is a mess, it's very unorganized so you waste a lot of time there before you start your route. Mundelein is much better but a further drive, Lisle is also a good hub if you can get it and Morton Grove is ok. Buy a hand truck, some boxes are bulky but not heavy and it helps you when you have multiple stops ($26 at Menard). Payments hit your account at 3 pm.

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
