[QUOTE="Netsua 3:16, post: 3698526, member: 73764"] They DO have a really crappy, high pressure, demanding job where they get berated for any mental mistake they might make at 4 in the morning. Us drivers go through similar mental abuse, and there's no doubt to me that going out cold on a 10 hour planned day is about as hard as any job out there (and I've worked on cruise ships, construction sites and graveyard grocery shifts). But we also make a pretty damn good living and get to wake up and go to bed at normal, humane hours. Let's face it, loaders/unloaders/local sort ARE underappreciated by basically everybody. Drivers with any type of senority claim that loading was somehow "harder" 20 years ago (despite the dramatic increase in volume). I hear that crap all the time and observe loaders being harrassed every day. These guys wake up at 230 am and bust their ass non stop for 4-6 hours with 1 15 minute break, then go to their other jobs. I can't blame them for being annoyed with some driver telling them what they should and shouldn't think. [/QUOTE]
