[QUOTE="reginald95, post: 3811553, member: 48321"] It's true. You are ultimately responsible for your own safety out there. Every time you decided to carry multiple packages in your arms instead of using your handtruck because that would slow you down, every time you cut across someone's lawn to get to their front door faster, every time you step down your package truck with a light package in hand instead of setting it down, stepping down then picking it up, and delivering an over 70 by yourself because it would take too long for another driver to get to you to help. These are just examples of things everyone does at some point or another that can cause a serious injury or life altering event. I still remember when I was a part-timer and hurt my back as a driver helper and where it occurred. I also remember that I kept working because I was getting top pay because it was before peak season. I also know deal with back discomfort that will never go away because of it. Unless it's some freak accident or act of god, safety is in our own hands. [/QUOTE]
