[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1066680, member: 32753"] I am paid a little shy of $32/hr to train my helper. It is part of my regular pay code. Mgmt understands if I have a bad first couple of days with a new helper it is because I am training him. I suspect the motive for awhile now has been they were helpers, not runners. This edict to use helpers in this fashion is not new to me. Now they have come up with a new way to see to it that we do so. I was once an $8.50 helper. Thankfully it didn't take long for my driver to see my work ethic and determine I was trustworthy enough to properly leave a box at the door while he delivered somewhere else. OTOH, I've met and heard of sone very dishonest top-scale drivers. Level pay does not necessarily correlate to level of how responsible and trustworthy someone is. I was able to become a driver after only one year on the preload. This was in part due to a driver graciously taking the time to show me how to use the DIAD, and after observing me deliver several stops and show I was capable to deliver to the proper house and hide it once there to let me help him. Learning to use the DIAD can be a real asset for someone who hopes to be a driver one day. I have seen it advocated here how we by our actions-whether it is sorting off the clock (something I've applied because of what I've read here) or even using our cell phones-can hurt the chances of someone looking to go FT. Training someone how to use the DIAD is a great way to help a future-driver. If he or she makes it, is that enough compensation? [/QUOTE]
