[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1064955, member: 4805"] Helpers who never drove have no idea how easy their job is compared to the driver's job. The driver has to plan the whole day out, when to break off to make NDA commits and on call airs, the best way to run the housecall loop, when to break off to make scheduled pickups, and continually making updates and adjustments to the initial plan as unexpected delays crop up. The driver is also accountable for [I]everything[/I] that happens on route, if something goes wrong no one is going to blame the helper. I'm not saying that helpers don't work hard because it's UPS and everyone works hard, but whenever I've teamed up with another driver I always volunteer to jump and let the other guy drive because running off stops is a piece of cake compared to what I usually do.
