I didn't say a livable wage, but not bad for part-time work to supplement other income, or cater to individuals who wish to work part-time for one reason or another. Students? Retired? Working moms?

Yep.. one would have to run the truck, but would have to do so anyway as there are many locations across the USA not within 20 miles of the warehouses, and it would massively inefficient to expect delivery vans to drive 200 miles each way to pick up their daily cargo.

The big question is whether pre-containerizing shipments for quick drops would be efficient or inefficient. And, perhaps designing a system to pick the containers and drop them quickly without a dock. Also a system to exchange empty and full containers on the truck with partial loads.
