Don't give them money on Monday. They'll still be high Tues when you meet at the meet point.

Best helper I had was the one I gave a bottle of Candian club to. One of my customers gave it to me as a Christmas tip. I told him if you bust your ass today, the bottle is yours.
He ran his ass off.

I never understood drivers making their helpers "run their ass off". That would be the same thing as management telling us drivers to run all day which 95% of drivers would respond with a kind "
off". Helpers don't make a lot of money so making them bust their ass for $30-$40 a day and a bottle of cheap whiskey is pretty low. I would have just given my helper the bottle as a nice gesture as long as he/she wasn't completely useless. I am one of the people who don't like using a helper, but I understand they are just people trying to make a little extra cash so they don't deserve to be treated like a slave.

Trust me, most times it would be easier if I did it myself.

I always tell my sup in the morning that I will be more efficient without a helper, but they make me take one anyways. So I just accept the helper and make the most of it. I spend a lot of time sorting the truck.
I rarely get one. And that's fine with me.

You're lucky, I think I had about 8 different helpers last year. Had to basically train them every time. The best helper I had was a preloader who had also being to driving school so he knew what he was doing and could work the diad which makes he day soooo much better.

I never make my helper run hard. I also tell them in the beginning that if they work hard and show up everyday I'll buy lunch and give them a nice tip at the end of the year. I then tell them for everyday they miss I'll take $20 out of the tip and won't buy lunch for that week.
I train my helper everyday and after 2 weeks he/she knows everything about the board. Then all I do is drive and sort the rest of peak. This of course only works if I don't get a completely brain dead helper or one @rod age.

The bearded wonder has some "problems" too it appears. I like at the end where the gal asks him what can be learned from this and he says "Don't friend with old people".

Never use them myself. Always refuse and just say lighten me up.
They can't even train a regular package car driver properly, so what the hell am I to do with a helper?
I'll walk every stop off together making sure things are done accordingly.
