[QUOTE="JoesUPSacct, post: 4696251, member: 82124"] i've only had 5-6 helpers so far so no crazy stories yet. 1 was a no show. 1 was ok but a "slow roller", 1 was actually good but a pre loader for ups in a city almost an hour away so he told me right from the start that he wouldn't be going out with me again because the commute wasn't worth it. 1 was actually terrible. i think his name began with quan and ended with tavius. i am certain he couldn't read. i have 3 apartment buildings with over 400 apts that are surrounded by a nice SFR community and i wanted to use 1 apt bldg to show him so he could do the other 2 while i knocked off a few houses. i showed him a few different shipping labels and pointed out the difference between each because each building uses a 4 digit apt code so 1123 = building 1 first floor apt 23, 2123 = building 2 first floor apt 23, 3123 = building 3 first floor apt 23 and so on. one of the buildings had only about 10 pkgs total, great, easy place to start. there are 2 elevators in this building about 400ft apart in the same hallway. i know these apt floorplans by heart by now so i took 7 of the 10 and gave him the other 3. i was very clear with him, take this one to the 2nd floor, apt 26. take these 2 to the 4th floor apts 9 and 17. i started running off the rest of the stops, clearing the 3rd floor and basement (due to only 1 elevator having basement access) and catch the elevator back up the the first floor and when the door opens, there he is with all 3 packages, 400ft from where i left him. he asks me which floor each pkg is going to. i knew then i was in trouble and the next time my phone rang i told him it was my supervisor telling me i had already reached my quota for helper time that day. today i actually had my best helper yet. i had to tell the guy twice no running. he's at a local college on a 2 month christmas break because of covid. i was able to stack the hand truck with two streets worth of pkgs and tell him i would meet him at the end and had no issues whatsoever while i took off and did other streets. i hope i get this guy again next week when the 300 stop days start coming in.
