[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1329363, member: 28856"] Not always, there's plenty of times I see 150+ irregs in the system that end up being put aside with a note saying something like "receiver has to pickup." Within reason though if something is small enough to put on the hand truck, while a pain, a driver should attempt it if it makes it onto the PC. Fortunately most of the 150+ things are much larger items that would take up 50% of the floor space in a PC easily and they're much easier to make demands on someone coming to pick it up vs delivered. They still get charged heavily for over max weight regardless. Over 70, if small and not over 150 were I a driver I wouldn't push the assistance language, but larger and over 150, if I couldn't roll/slide it to the hand cart I'd be calling for assistance and not delivering without some form of assistance. A few years ago, probably 5 ish years. During peak we had like 8 atvs, maybe not true atvs but damn close, came through and they were all 200+ lbs. They sat on the pd instead of being loaded in the trailer for over a week before someone came and got them, either the shipper/receiver or Frieght not sure who, but they never ended up in a PC as far as I know.
