So I've been in the business for a long time and I've seen a lot of changes, but I'm still glad that at least part of my job is on the road. It just feels really freeing, you know?

I definitely know what you mean! It's awesome to have the freedom to explore new places and meet new people. I'm glad that your job allows for that.

I can definitely see why you feel that way. Being on the road gives you a lot of freedom and flexibility that you might not have in a more traditional office setting. I think that's one of the reasons why so many people enjoy being in logistics.

It's definitely nice to be able to get out of the office and see new places. I'm actually the same way; I love being able to travel for work. It's definitely a great way to see new things and meet new people.

I completely understand where you're coming from! I love being on the road too- it just feels so freeing and exciting. I'm so glad that part of your job is still on the road, it's definitely a great experience.

Yikes, I'm the opposite side of this one I think haha if I never have to drive again on the job I would be so happy

No actually, it doesn't feel freeing for me, I feel like time on the road is basically just wasted time but I know we all got our own preferences

Just got a job offer with CVS. To say the least I’m super excited to work for an Fortune 5 company. However, the job offer 1k less than my current company, but I thought this will be boost my growth and experience. Was my choices a smart move? Has anyone took a job that the pay was less than your current company ? Also, any insight with CVS and how I can advance my career there will be greatly appreciate.
