Day in the Life

Your alarm goes off early in Lubbock, Texas, but not too early—most routes start around 6 AM, wrapping up by 3-4 PM, giving you three full days off each week. After a quick breakfast, you head to the Cintas facility in Lubbock, where your truck is prepped with fresh inventory. A safety huddle with your team sets the tone: today's goals, route updates, and quick tips on upselling.

By 7 AM, you're on the road, navigating Lubbock's wide streets and heading to your first stop—a bustling auto shop on the south side. You unload clean uniforms, collect dirties in exchange bags, inspect for quality, and chat with the manager. Spotting an opportunity, you pitch our shop towel service: 'These will keep your bays spotless and save you time.' They sign on, and your commission meter ticks up.

Mid-morning takes you to a food processing plant in north Lubbock, Texas. Here, physical demands kick in—lifting 50-pound bags of mats and towels, maneuvering dollies safely. You resolve a billing concern on the spot, strengthening trust. Lunch is grabbed on the go, perhaps a quick stop at a local Lubbock eatery like the Double Nickel.

Afternoon brings variety: a hospital linen exchange, negotiating a renewal with a construction firm, and inventory checks at a warehouse. Back at base by 3 PM, you log sales, fuel the truck, and debrief with supervisors. Evenings and weekends? Yours to enjoy Texas sunsets, family time, or exploring Lubbock's music scene at the Cactus Theater. It's rewarding, autonomous, and balanced.
