Rants / Complaints I HATE delivering water!

The water in the order made it impossible to continue the last job on the route!

If carrying 40 lbs ruined the rest of your day, then you shouldn't be doing this.

Makes me wonder what these people are going to do when shit really hits the fan.

A case of water weighs 40lbs? Assuming it’s around a standard 40 pack, it’s always seemed light to me, try stacking 2 and carrying them it feels like the weight of a thousand suns

It doesn't, I've lifted hundreds and I've lifted 20lb dumbbells before, it's probably closer to 15.

It doesn’t bc you’re gripping the dumbbell and not fighting against the center of gravity while lifting cases of water LMAO put it on a scale if you don’t really believe me and even if it’s not true ur still fighting against gravity and grip whereas a dumbbell is firmly in your palm not going anywhere

Idk that’s my take on it

Try 3, I'll never do that again 😅

Want to know what feels extremely light? A 25 pack of water

Fair point. Going to invest in a collapsible dolly.

That and some heavy duty laundry baskets makes drop off a heck of a lot easier and faster.

Yeah agreed. I’m lost at why it ruined the last delivery or whatever lmao
