[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1108175, member: 28388"] As far as whose job is more strenuous part time inside worker or full time driver...When I worked inside I had cushy & not so cushy jobs. Loading feeders was relatively strenuous but not as much as unloading feeders. Picking off at high volume was easy on most belts, picking off at low volume where stuff was backing up and you had to lift every heavy thing working at a fast pace stacking things 4' high was super strenuous. Sorting in the sort aisle was pretty low impact unless you had an [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] unloader who intentionally wanted to bury you. Driving the irreg train was probably the easiest job I did when I worked inside. Most of it was driving around or waiting behind other trains then 2 seconds of briefly lifting a 70+ then dropping it and sitting down again. Driving a PC...I can't easily compare it because while the walking up the steep driveways and several flights of stairs and lugging heavy packages for long distances is strenuous, we get that break of sitting while driving to the next stop so I'm really not sure if either is more strenuous. I guess I'd have to say full time driver is more strenuous due to being out there 9-11 hours a day. [/QUOTE]
