[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 902210, member: 12570"] Revenue audits used to be done at the center level but are now done at the hubs. If you encounter a clearly overweight package ODS the center and ask them what they would like you to do. Usually if the package is found before it enters the system it will be refused--once it is in the system we end up delivering it and UPS adds surcharges to their bill. Safety becomes an issue when pkg weights are not correctly indicated. This is why we are trained to test the package for weight and shifting contents. If the loader preps to lift a 4 lb package they could easily be injured if the pkg weighs 50 lbs instead. [/QUOTE]
