[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 6031711, member: 60485"] I agree we have a toxic culture, I’ve always said we make about $10-$15 an hour to do the job. Everything else is to put up with management BS. But it is not ridiculous to say women do struggle “long-term” physically doing this job. The job is a meat grinder. And I’m glad you pointed out the 5 to 8 years because that is about the point most women begin to have problems with their bodies at this repetitive motion job. We currently have five women in our center. Three of them are out on injury and have been out five months or more. One of them came back from pregnancy. The other one has only been driving about a year and a half. This is not a knock on women. Their bodies are just different. We are in a metro area with a lot of heavy business routes and stops that go out with 200+ stops a day. As well as very heavy pick ups. In Smaller centers where there’s more driving and less volume, it might be a little easier on the bodies. [/QUOTE]
