[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1240896, member: 43502"] Please read this thoroughly before telling me to go pound sand. I can see both sides, so just trying to get you guys to see the helper side. I think many drivers fail to realize that driver helpers are not told much other than they will "assist" in delivering boxes and that it is a fast paced job. It all sounds like a fairly simply job and that not much else is needed, why else would they hire just about anyone? They [U]never[/U] tell helpers or even hint that the driver is the boss. I know that you guys work off the phrase "work as directed", but a helper has no idea what that means. Sometimes a little explanation goes a long way and can really get a helper to understand better. Drivers do these things day in and day out for years and I understand how frustrating it must be. Imagine how equally frustrating it is to a newbie that knows nothing of this and terrified to piss off the driver? I asked a ton of questions my first year and still ask. It just makes me more useful to the driver. I don't usually agree with Dave, but I think I agree with him on his helper usage. [/QUOTE]
