[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1063580, member: 43502"] Okay so I'm a helper that has a rather difficult driver and I still really enjoy the job. I don't get why the amount of boxes was so difficult, unless they were all really heavy and you had to go up 60 or 70 steps each time. No offense but the amount you stated sounds a little slow to me. This is my first time doing this job and I was a little sore my first week. I was bruised emotionally, but I kept going. I'm woman and never complain about the amount of work, the size or weight of a box, minus one 98lb. box that I said "no way can I do that one alone". I don't ask for any special privileges because of it, except that *handyman* keep his hands to himself. I think people should give it a little more time before quitting, unless the work is just too hard, then by all means quit. I just think people should really think before taking this job, because it isn't fair to the driver. My neighborhood driver brought me a package last night and asked if I wanted to switch hubs because he was on his 4th helper. That sucks that he has to train again. Honestly for me, the business stops are much harder than residential, so if you're doing residential enjoy the small/medium amazon boxes vs. heavy xerox boxes. Yes there really is a lot of hostility towards helpers, but not from everyone. With that said, this really isn't the place to talk about how hard the job is when these guys/gals do it year round by themselves. [/QUOTE]
