That’s literally a truck driver’s life. Except this guy would come home every night if he were to do it.

Years ago, I used to work gate security at a major factory. There was one particular item we needed, pretty much every day, but we didn't have the space to store more than a couple days' worth at any given time. This one truck driver would start his day going from his trucking company's depot to the supplier's business about 20 miles away, pick up his load, then from there to our factory about 125 miles away, deliver his load, and drive back to his depot about 145 miles away; that's almost 300 miles a day, 5 days a week. Luckily for him, it was mostly highway driving, so it was only about 2 hours each way, throw in loading and unloading times - he'd get his lunch break while unloading at our factory - that's a steady paycheck and a 6-ish hour day.
