Gas prices affect all drivers

Gas prices continue to skyrocket, sabotaging people's summer plans, and even impacting certain jobs. For example, delivery drivers are feeling entirely forgotten. A pizza delivery driver at Dominos, Katy, told the Brownfield News she only makes six dollars an hour when driving and sometimes people don’t tip. She explained that she drives an astonishing amount, “since the last year I’ve worked here I’ve put 25,000 miles on my car.” She continued to explain, “the other day I drove three hours on just one trip.” She added that now she gets her oil changed once a month. With the added expenses of high gas prices, oil changes, and wear and tear on her vehicle she said she has been contemplating quitting. She said that she is in a pizza delivery driver Facebook group page and other drivers were receiving a two dollar raise. She said that she had not received a raise or any indication that she might receive a raise soon. She said, “they just try to appease us with gatorades and monster drinks.” She explained she doesn’t even drink energy drinks.
