This role offers greater earning potential but also requires handling expenses, logistics, and compliance with industry regulations.

Additionally, using route optimization tools and tracking expenses closely can improve efficiency and profitability. Success in this role often comes from balancing operational costs with smart business decisions and adaptability.
