Is it me or are these packages getting heavier and heavier?

My AM time is what it is.
They can't instruct me to falsify my records.

Do you put it in as sort and load or just AM time?

I had one of those king sized bed frames last week going to 2nd floor apt,112lbs that thing sucked

Over 70? We don't move those. Off the end of truck is it.

It's all because a lot of sites now offer free shipping. One would be a fool to lug that stuff home when they can get it delivered free.

I love the look on their face when I drop it at the garage door and high tail it out of there.

You are going to be a wonderful role model.

See. That's why you average two complaints a week and I've only had two my whole career. Lol.

Jk. I'll move it within reason. Next building over, two floors up,etc., no go.

I still don't understand how so much stuff can be ordered that includes free shipping and its still cheaper to order it on line that buy locally. Makes a person mad realizing just how much things are really marked up. I really try to buy locally but.............

Its the Amazon strategy of losing money on every order but making up for it with volume.

I hope you called for driver assist. Not very smart to handle stuff that heavy alone. Could be one move away from a life of misery.

I've been trying to qualify as a full time driver. Been at it a little over 2 years. I'm currently back to working preload. I have no problem with hard work and I'm not a complainer but today I had to laugh at the amount of bulk and over 70 packages I had to lift off the bottom belt. It was ridiculous. Just back breaking grunt work. I'm not young but I'm in good shape.
I've heard and read some things about how the size and weight of packages is a lot more than what it used to be. Is it true? What's going on? Don't know how long I can keep doing this without going full time. Looking at driving another peak season. Uggghh. I've been holding on to keep my seniority and because I need the medical benefits for my family. In other words, they've got me by the balls. Thoughts?

if something is heavy , can't you ask for help?????

especially with the big awkward boxes.

 

[burrheadd]

They would strangle any of us if we put 40 minutes in to our DIADs for AM time.

5-10 minutes is the max that we are allowed to put in there.

Put however long it takes
Anything else falsifying

 

[dookie stain]

What is AM time?
