[QUOTE="1BrownClown, post: 238828, member: 10324"] If you are serious about driving in the future then I highly recommend being a drivers helper this peak season. It will give you a first hand (and true) account of what a UPS package car drivers job is really like. Having been in the exact same situation as you, I was surprised at all that is involved in the job, not just the physical aspects but the mental as well. It will also make you a better loader and make it crystal clear why loading the truck properly is SOOOOOOOOO important. A simple mistake on your part can easily cost a driver over an hour of time that they would much rather be spending with their family. Personally I think every person on the preload operation should spend at least one day with a driver as a helper to see that: 1-Yes the drivers make good money but in turn they really bust their a$$es for it and 2-It shows them how common every day mistakes (spa labels put on top of bar codes, not taping up packages properly, spa-ing out of sink, and mis loads and mis sorts) not only cost a lot of time but a lot of money as well. Best of luck to you, it gets much easier as you go along! [/QUOTE]
