Sucks that the hard workers have to bail out the lazy bastards.The ones that work hard and fast are the same ones having to go out an help the ones that are working slower and safer.Like me!!!!
I figured that out a long time ago,get done early boom get sent to help someone else out,not anymore they can come help me.Sucks that the hard workers have to bail out the lazy bastards.
Who does? I let the helper work.Stay strong brothers and sisters. Don't work too hard this peak!
Thank you!Sucks that the hard workers have to bail out the lazy bastards.
Exactly! Peak is the easiest physically because the helper is doing most of the walking and carrying. It only sucks because there's WAY more residential stops than normal and there's always delays leaving the building, except on Monday. I actually hate when January rolls around and they get rid of the helpers. You forget what it's like to walk every single stop yourself until that rude reawakening.It's funny how it is actually less physically demanding for a driver during peak, but of course only when you have your helper aboard. It's a lot less stair climbing and carrying packages and walking. The hardest part of peak is fighting the damn load looking for needles in a hay stack it often feels like.

Having helped the same 8-10 drivers for 10 years, I can understand your frustration. But on the other hand being a new driver myself, the frustration should be put to management. I frequently need to be bailed out due to managements poor planning. It's gotten much worse over the last 10 years. New mgmt are clueless when it comes to Orion, rte knowledge, production, and safety.A few years ago I was "asked" to go help a new driver three separate times in the same week. When I caught up to him on the 3rd my frustration got the best of me and I let him know in no uncertain words how I felt about having to bail him out.
He is now one of our better young drivers.

They don't have to help the smart workers, the dumbies choose to help the smart ones. It's management who always quotes the big lie: work smarter not harder.Sucks that the hard workers have to bail out the lazy bastards.
As Shakespeare would say; Ain't that the truth?We were all, at one time, the new guy who busted his behind only to be sent to help.
I never blamed the guys I helped. Management knows how much each driver can handle. They will purposely send the slower driver out with too much work, knowing the faster driver will have to bail him out. Then they can blame the overdispatching on the slower driver.
It's about time the runners wake up and realize who is actually bending them over.
I ponder the same thing every month our union takes its ridiculous fees.Sucks that the hard workers have to bail out the lazy bastards.
