Delivery and driving jobs in Chicago - what worked for you?

I saw postings for delivery drivers and dispatchers near Chicago. They list a sign-on bonus and weekly pay. Are the local runs really home every night?

Ask how many stops and hours a typical day has. The pay per hour dropped when my route was longer than advertised.

Local runs were steady for me, but early starts are common. Plan for a 4 a.m. alarm.
