Use the trolley, do the (walk) do the job properly. If not your still stupid.
This^^^^^. What the F is it with people. Ohhhh il leave My trolley in the van because it’s quicker with out it. As an added extra I get to F up my back too
It’s a macho thing with them, would rather ruin their back than be a trolly dolly. You can’t help some people.
It’s a shame they are not designed or adjustable for people over 6 foot tall. I’m 6’5 and have to bend over to reach the handle

We have a special trolley with an extra long handle for a tall person in our DO - but I don't think he is 6'5.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Yeah, I had the same problem on my old duty and I'm not even that tall. I ended up going back to wearing a bag because constantly dropping a shoulder to get the thing to move forward was leaving me with back pain (note: I push it rather than pull because the wheels hit my heels). Much as I've always proselytised for LWTs, the terrain on that duty was absolutely not suited to one.

Even with a long handle, the bag is below the knees. Id imagine someone would have carried out an ergonomic assessment recently
