[QUOTE="InTheRed, post: 511681, member: 4489"] Driver helper and driver are two WAY different jobs. First, driver does all the driving (not as easy as it looks). Second, driver helper is handed every stop and pointed where to go. Third, driver helper is only for a certain part of the year, and only does one or a few routes (as an assistant). I believe driving is easy. It was tough at first for me, but after a month, it clicked. When EDD was refined, it became very easy. I like to drive (cars), so handling the truck in traffic is not an issue, and learning the 5 seeing habits/10 point commentary has made me a better, safer driver. The DIAD is very easy to learn, if you're a computer person (and most young people are). We are beyond that stage now where the 'older' generation of drivers (born in the 60s) who did not grow up with computers have either all accepted the DIAD and learned it very well or moved on to other positions. Even the customer counter is all computer based. The driver job is easy once you learn it, but it's not easy for everyone. I think if you had the opportunity to do the driver job, you would find it much tougher than you imagined. [/QUOTE]
