[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 642090, member: 18044"] Article 67, Section 5 of the New England Supplement still refers to "[U]package[/U] [U]driver[/U] helpers." This suggests to me that the helper must work with the driver, and [U]not[/U] independently. There are degrees of independence, however. A helper could deliver one stop at a time, returning to the driver for further instructions after each stop. Or he could deliver several stops with a two-wheeler before returning to the driver. Or he could be given a big cart full of stops and a bike to keep him independently busy for an hour or so. Or he could never see the driver and work out of a dropped TP-60 or even a feeder left in a mall parking lot. When does the degree of independence become so great as to require the use of a second package car driver at driver's pay, and not a $9.50 helper? The language also says "Helpers will not be allowed to do any driving work whatsoever." I realize driving a bicycle is different than driving a package car, but when we voted on the language, how many members intended to authorize semi-independent bicycle-and-cart delivery? At the very least, it seems to violate the spirit of the No Driving language, and arguably the literal language itself. The No Driving language does not say no [U]package[/U] [U]car[/U] [U]driving[/U], it says no "driving work whatsoever." Incidentally, this Supplement allows helpers to be used two weeks earlier than previous Supplements. [/QUOTE]
