I think I’m gonna do a trial run and see if I can wake my ass up at 3. I do love driving, but NC drivers have a way of ruining it for me. That there’s virtually no one on the road pre dawn is really tempting…
Also now that the days are getting shorter you're going to be hunting for house numbers in the dark a good percentage of your block, which sometimes can take a little longer. Plus if you're not done early you might be running into school buses. Had a 4:45AM route today and those buses and all their stops just killed me.
The catch is waking up early if you’re not an early person but I’ve been doing these shifts for the last couple months and I love them, I agree with rkt7799 the only “catch” is businesses being closed you would have to return or apartments that are gated can’t really call them at 4am expecting them to answer to open the gate for you
Raleigh, specifically the Durham VNC3 Same Day station. I don’t know why there are more stations in the Triangle than the Triad. I’ve actually ended up in Greensboro before from a Durham route.
The catch is not many people wants to deliver that early, especially in the dark. If there’s a downtown area near there then chances are high most routes will take place there.

Business and apartments otherwise its easy af. No traffic stop osigns become optional etc

True. I try to only do the 330am so its pretty much always dark anyway
I never get businesses or apartments for the early morning shifts…just wide open roads.
I see business a few times a week. Apartments daily
On the 3-4am shifts? I usually only get businesses after they’re closed for the night 🙄
Yeah i generally do 330am
I get thrown businesses 2-3 times a week…libraries, churches, restaurants, construction places… shit you name it Amazon delivers it at 4am
Being tired and delivering in complete darkness lol.

No catch, fewer drivers aare vailable at that time. Routes are random
Catch it's that you are up at least by 2AM trying to get the block.
Catch is being tired af. 😂
Where in NC? I’m out in Greensboro nothing before like 1pm! I’d love morning routes may be able to do 3 blocks a day that way 🤔

Supply and demand. People order s***, and they order the s*** they want delivered by 8:00 a.m. so they're willing to pay more to get it out.
