[QUOTE="vwguy76, post: 1241018, member: 45231"] No brainer Impress the Helper Coordinator and others by showing them your ability to follow directions. In my case, you call in at 8:30 a.m M-friend so they can let you know if you are working that day. After that feel free to communicate the start time with your driver however you two want to go about it. If you are being a good helper and doing everything the driver does, except drive the truck, you are going to be too tired to do anything else after 6-10 hours of busting your ass. If you are paired with a good driver and have a good work ethic, things will fall into place naturally. No need to be a doormat. Again, if you are paired with a good driver and you have a "can do" attitude and half a brain, you'll have the Diad mastered within a week. As far as sucking it up goes, are you referring to using the Diad? So if you mess up on something it's better to just guess than to explain to the driver what happened and ask how to fix it? That would go over real well when at the end of the day you've got 20 uncompleted stops in your board. Duh? When you get hired for this job you pretty much promise to be available to work from the hire date until Christmas. If you are sore ALL THE TIME then you aren't following the methods and you aren't stretching before work. I've been a helper for the past 4 years. It doesn't suck and I'm not sore all the time.... My driver and I only discuss parcels, kittens and puppies. As opposed to what? Climbing into the package car and abusing your driver all day? Yeah that would go over until the first stop, then you'd be left on the doorstep with the package. Ha ha ha yeah, like a driver is going to put up with someone sitting in the jumper seat all day bitching and complaining about everything under the sun. LOL It won't be given to you even if you "earn" it if there are no positions available. Word gets around, if you are a good helper the center manager will know about and will ask if you are interested in staying on, or coming back should a position become available. [/QUOTE]
