[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1064438, member: 43436"] I've worked with 50+ drivers (maybe significantly more, I've lost count through the years) in my decade-plus career as a driver helper. I get the job. I've worked as a seasonal driver and have had a helper (and probably would if not for the fact that seasonal driving isn't red circled, thus I make more working inside/as a helper). Absolutely -- it's advantageous for the driver to sort the truck & set-up stops while the helper makes the deliveries. HOWEVER... the overwhelming majority of drivers I've worked with remain on the truck & text, talk on the phone, etc. while I make deliveries on both sides of the street, to two consecutive houses with long driveways, to multiple apartments/offices, etc. These drivers are suppose to be sharing these deliveries with me, thus expediting their completion time. Instead, they're taking advantage of me (well, not me, but having the helper). I certainly don't know what situation the OP falls in (being taken advantage of or just moaning about delivering while driver is sorting) but am surprised (OK, not really) by the negative comments.
