[QUOTE="Griff, post: 262322, member: 7111"] Yeah, he had to load them. [B][I]The original question is what is worse on the body after 20 years.[/I][/B] Lets see, walking from the back of the truck with a package to the front OR unloading with a 21" step in your way. When does a preloader have to handle a cart with 450+lbs of paper on it, going up curbs, etc. Most of you are letting driver pay influence your input, not very bright at all. If preload paid out the same as driving I would go back inside and not even think twice. Also LeddyS you sound like you run a housestop split route 95% of the time. Have you dealt with a route in an old broken down industrial section of town (METAL WORKERS)? How about a route that has more accountants on it than you can count on two hands? Ever been on that route before tax time, 3rd floor, no elevator? I can tell by the way you reacted to my original post you've clearly never done a route that has 5+ schools (all dockless) around mid July. I'm suspect of anyone that is a driver who says they only "unload 1". Anyone that has or is covering a real route unloads 1 and loads 1 everyday. [/QUOTE]
