The guy is very average size - 5'8" and not particularly big with it.
He just trundles along and only complains about the traffic.

I bet he was over 6' when he started the job . . . . boom-tishhhh!

Seriously, I don't think they could make coal deliveries pay if they
didn't humph them on their backs, they'd spend far too long on site and
I'm betting your guy does those drops in less than five mins and is
gone.


I think it took him 8 mins. He doesn't rush. A new guy came a couple
of months back and tried a trolley with 2 bags on it. He carried the
rest in standard fashion. He was about 6'2", young and fit so no
doubt he'll end up 5'8" in a few years.
