UPS has a 79-page document that details everything from how to mentally prepare to drop off a package to how to exit vehicles and avoid straining

All of UPS "safety" measures are to protect the company from any liability. Just remember, it's ALWAYS your fault. In no circumstance is the company going to take your side. Anyone working for UPS should know that if you actually followed their safety rules as they state them, you would not meet their productivity expectations. So it's either your fault for not being safe or it's your fault for not meeting their arbitrary numbers. It's a lose lose for the worker.

UPS drivers follow a heavily regimented process in order to maintain safety and efficiency on the job.

Delivery drivers have become an increasingly important part of the global ecosystem. UPS alone processes about 6.5% of the US' gross domestic product every day, the company's spokesperson told Insider. As the US faces major supply-chain snags and bottlenecks, heavily engineered processes like UPS' 500-plus delivery methods help keep deliveries flowing.

The company's 79-page "Service Provider Delivery and Pickup Methods" manual breaks down everything from how to pre-plan for stops to how to exit a UPS truck without putting any additional strain on your body, according to a new book from The Wall Street Journal's Christopher Mims. In the book, "Arriving Today: From Factory to Front Door - Why Everything Has Changed About How and What We Buy," Mims details the intricate processes that bring goods from Asia to the US.

I once saw an official printed version of how to do a proper pre-trip. If you attempted to cjheck everything on that list it would have taken a good half hour every morning to do a pre-trip.
