[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4079506, member: 76548"] Yes, if you want 40 hours during peak, you will have no trouble getting them. It will not be on a single sort, because once the sort is over it's over, and there's no more work left there for you to do. But there will be plenty of on road driver helper hours to go around, if you choose to take them. You'll need to take your own vehicle to meet a driver on his area, and then you'll hop in with him and run the packages off while he remains in the truck to sort it and set up the next stops. You shouldn't have a problem getting 30 hours of driver helper work per week if you want them. So I'd estimate that you'll be able to get around 60 hours weekly if you want. But be careful what you wish for, homes. It's not like either of those jobs are a picnic - the sort blows, and they get 8 hours worth of work at any other normal job out of you in 4 or 5 hours. The driver helper job is considerably easier than the sort, and most drivers are cool and will make the time half-enjoyable for you and buy you coffees/lunch or whatever, but you are out in the elements and if it's cold and wet where you are, then it's a bitch to be trudging through the snow for like $9 per hour.
