I wonder how fedex and ups guys don’d die from lugging all their packages (up to 75 lbs, too) they have to each and every day.
But then, if we wrote a story on that, it wouldn’t get us any political points
“I wonder how fedex and ups guys don’d die from lugging all their packages (up to 75 lbs, too) they have to each and every day.”
The ones I see usually have a dolly or a cart. It’s not really the same thing, is it?
I used to deliver office supplies including cases of paper that weighted out to 75lbs and sometime had to carry them up three flights of steps. My knees ached like a SOB....
Now I have a job where I do a lot of walking and some heavy lifting and my knees dont hurt as much.
Those guys tote around a lot of wieght in gear, plus they run, jog, kneel, crouch and hit the dirt. That strain must be playing havoc on thier bodies. But a bullet can be much worse.
Can you imangine the uproar if the military didnt provide the protection or it wasnt as good as it is now?
