[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 1108149, member: 16501"] I would have to disagree with you on this. Picking up packages and moving them 10 ft into the proper position in a package car, is not as physically demanding as delivering them to the actual homes and businesses for 10 hours a day. You handle maybe 3 to 4 times as many packages, depending on how many trucks you load, but you don't have to go very far with them. As a driver you have the added physical challenges that come with how many times you have to open and close the package car doors, and get in and out of the vehicle. A lot of our injuries are shoulder and knee related. My opinion on this may be skewed by the fact I was in my 20 s as a part-timer and I am now nearing 50.:wink2: [/QUOTE]
