[QUOTE="dilligaf, post: 318888, member: 11476"] That's ok Lady (ps same to DS and Sat, they will know why), I have to remind myself that not everyone is aware of that, screen names do make it hard. I love being outside and for the most part my customers are pretty good. I think in some cases it helps being a women, esp. w/ over 70's. I go into the business "ok guys, I have a heavy one. Can one of you come and help?". More often than not I'll have 3/4 lined up outside of the trucking waiting.:its_all_good: But if not I take care of it myself. No complaints. We have a high value shipper on 1 route that ships display cases for shows. (Jewelry). They had 2 cases going out and the shipper had told me about it early in the day so I called in for some help at p/u time. Each case well over 70, and the shipper was upstairs with no elevator. I didn't want to risk losing it trying to get it downstairs without help and there were only women that worked there (older). To make a longer story short the male driver that showed up to help made a snotty remark "Is this why I had to come over here?" He was being a jerk. Yep this is why! He is one of our runners and is out on like his 3/4 injury now, has just barely worked for the comp. 1 year. I haven't had any injuries and only 1 avoidable accident.
