Straps and bungy cords make a huge difference if your able to strap a few tall irregs to the shelf. Worst of them all is pottery barn, sometimes 3 boxes fill the truck
Are the amount of oversized packages at an all time high ?

Pretty sure I had one of those this week as well. It was 8 boxes. 4 were on the long and skinny side. Heavy as heck

I deliver cases of water to a really "challenging" address: cul-de-sac, inclined driveway, long walkway, absolute killer delivery.

You deliver water to a residence and you work for UPS? No plumbing or a well or did they not pay their bills?
That I was rude and wouldn't move the boxes. obviously. Are you saying you know better than my center manager who said I did the right thing?

I wouldn't think a rug could hold back very much water.
LOL your life must be boring
Today was the first time I ever asked for teamster assistance. Ever. I had south shore furniture. They said 143, I think they were 200, I am going to look it up. I had 4 of them. They were a bad add one day and fought them all day. I was going to leave them no matter what, I knew no one would steal them. After I first tried to deliver these four to a bad adress I remembered the name, the numbers were transposed, and I had one for them yesterday. Big, hulky man, I thought no problem see ya tomorrow.
Door wide open, no one will come out. Kept going to the door yelling in, no answer. The driver who met me, and helped get them on the porch, left, while I heard a voice call "come inside".......I did and my eyes will never be the same. A half naked woman in her 70s........from the waist down........EEEHH Gadd. Then she wanted me to move them inside. Im like well I would but I cannot budge them alone, and my help left. Ive been out there like 10 minutes, if you had yelled sooner, but you didnt. Have fun with your new furniture. She said I will call my grandson, thats good, its his crap anyway, LOL

A lot of areas have poor water quality. Either dirty and chlorinated or hard water with lots of minerals.
Must have. This week is the first time I've heard sups openly wondering what's going on. The sort gets bombed with gigantic stuff from start to finish and it takes forever to wrap up. Drivers are having to leave stuff on location to be shuttled. Volume is down, probably due to the Surepost surge and ORION account losses but the PCs are still packed as ever.

It's a lot of times a sorters job to re-tape, mark with over 70 tape to most packages coming through the system. A loader usually doesn't do this. Sorters are the most unliked people in the hub. They say they don't have time, if they didn't talk as much it could get done correctly.
