[QUOTE="AssistantSanta, post: 909235, member: 38503"] If you can fast walk for 20 minutes at a time with no difficulty I think you'll be fine. I find the job isn't as physically demanding as they make it out to be at interview. At least not on my route. I do moderately high density residential stops and what helps me the most is that I spent a few hours here how to use the DIAD. I don't enjoy lifting heavy things, but I walk quicker than my driver(I don't leave for class until last minute, so fast walk is ingrained in me) and I can handle routine procedure quickly on portable computer (called DIAD) so lets me avoid very heavy stuff. I flat out told my driver that I don't like packages over 35 lbs. One house had six 65 lbs boxes. I talked my way out of that but I took care of two driver-releases and a signature required packages while the driver was dealing with that. In the end, it still worked out since we finished up four stops at once. [/QUOTE]
