[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 772102, member: 12570"] Quoting from a contract is one thing but we are talking the real world here. Sober could have, and maybe should have, sat and waited for a fellow Teamster to come and help him. The problem with this is two-fold: first, Sober already said that it would be several hours before help was available and that he was breaking trace to try to make his day easier and, second, being asked to help will impact the other driver's day as well. One of the five keys is "use existing equipment and facilities to assist in the lift/lower". Sober had his hand cart. The sheer size of the package would have made it difficult to properly use the hand cart but it could have been done. It appears from the photos that his plan was to get as close to the garage as possible and then move the pkg from the PC to the garage, using the weight of the package in his favor. I think we are getting away from the original question of this thread and that is whether he deserved a warning letter for this or not. I don't think he did. He is a 23 year veteran with an excellent work record and I think a verbal would have been sufficient. [/QUOTE]
