I had a helper Mon. through Thur. that was totally lethargic. But never having a helper before I just thought he was "little" substandard. He wanted his own DIAD board to play with, WALKED up to the door, knocked and waited for a signature despite my yelling at him to "stop, drop and run" repeatedly. He had to go to the doctors on Thursday at 4:30 because he bumped his knee on Wednesday, so needless to say, his doctor gave him the next two days off. I then had a helper that every driver dreams of. This kid, 17 years old, RAN! This kid was like Forrest Gump playing football. (Forrest would sit like a people until he was handed the football and wouldn't stop for nothing.) My helper was on his cell phone talking or texting until you gave him the package and he took off. We got 75 stops off in 1 1/2 hours!!!! I had a hard time parking the truck, etc, and scanning the next package for him to deliver before he got back to the truck. He was GOOD!!!! I gave him the $50 I was going to give to my Mon.-Thurs. helper. If every driver had helpers like this.... Maybe this isn't as good as some other driver/helper teams, but all I can compare him to is what I had the first four days. Anybody else have similiar helper stories to relay?
