[QUOTE="Brownnblue, post: 267206, member: 1941"] Quite frankly, no. The first day with a helper you are faced with two scenarios. 1) You are dispatched with a peak day like stop count while all the other drivers have a normal dispatch. You have to completely switch gears in order to get your load off. So much time is consumed excavating the load, loading up your helper, explaining where the streets are, and then trying to find him after he gets lost that training time on the diad is minimal at best. 2) You are dispatched with your normal day + X for the helper, but you only have your helper for X amount of hours. Again, you have to point him in the right direction and hope for the best. No time for training. Old Brown Shoe hit the nail on the head, we should get more pay for training & thinking for these guys. [/QUOTE]
