§ 05 — A workday
What the day
actually feels like.
The work is physical, direct, and team-based. The point is not to make every shift easy; it is to make the expectations visible before you apply.
7:45a01
Meet the route.
Start with the lead, review homes, supplies, access notes, and any customer constraints before the first door.
8:30a02
Work in pairs.
Most residential routes run as two-person crews with shared checklists, clear room ownership, and no solo surprises.
12:15p03
Reset, eat, move.
Lunch and drive time are planned into the route. If a home runs long, dispatch adjusts instead of pretending time expands.
3:45p04
Close the loop.
Photos, punch-list notes, and supply flags go in before the day ends so tomorrow starts with fewer unknowns.
Working interviews use the same route structure. You are paid for the shift and paired with a senior crew member.
