[QUOTE="Manualshiftdriverhelperil, post: 916687, member: 39083"] Driver Helpers perspective, Now the story here goes; I was doing my fourth day as a driver helper god forbid me having all the perks and benefits of a union worker. I mean c'mon man I wish I had the insurance to get my fillings in and my wisdom teeth removed. I'm getting paid $9.25 an hour. So In the middle of our route, while my driver (7 plus years in) isn't the worse guy. Although he loves watching me run back to the truck as I struggle and die after four days of grueling cumbersome quarter mile country road drive-ups. There was this one instance where he pulled up to the FREAKING GARAGE door the day before, and today made me walk the whole drive way. After explaining I had IT-band syndrome which is a horrible knee pain and only to start in my mid twenties. Well, there was one specific stop where the customer keeps a red bin outside the door and the third day decides to show up for the stop. Now the customer HANDS ME A CASH INCENTIVE envelope that I can clearly see a TEN DOLLAR BILL bleeding through plus even more CASH MONEY somewhere in between there. But, my driver insists he takes it. There was a awkward silence after this moment. I mean C'MON MAN! I should recieve it. I am broke, hungry, out of work by tomorrow and have atleast a dozen bandages on my body. But he takes it, and the guilt was in the air most definitively. Now, I am riding empty on my gas tank and I pray to god I make it to my next and final destination for the driver helper gig.
