[QUOTE="happybob, post: 137158, member: 4724"] Please don't be afraid of being a driver helper. I've also had many a helper, male and female, and mostly notice they both work just as hard at helping the driver have a smooth holiday season. Where you work will dictate the type of foot wear to bring to work each day. Here in the N.E. I would allways encourage my helper to bring a sturdy pair of workboots/water proof boots once the snow hits the area. Running through snowbanks in sneakers will make for a very miserable day. When most helpers get hired they are told to walk at a brisk pace throughout the day. Once you get on car with the driver he/she will expect you to run to each stop and back to the truck. If you're not willing to be running all day you will find the driver will let his/her management team know that you wont work out. Usually the company will assign you to another driver in that instance and reassign another helper to the complaining driver. You may also end up working for a driver that will refuse to let you run. He/she will be looking out for your safety. Your best bet would be to ask the driver you get assigned to what he/she expects from you. A bad/lazy helper will ruin a drivers peak season, while a good one makes it easier on us to get through our hardest time of the year. [/QUOTE]
