You better believe it.

@bbsam or @It will be fine

What was grounds weight limit. I thought you guys have been at 150lb for a while?

When I first started in 1971 it was 50 pounds per package and no more than 100 pounds total going to the same place from the same shipper per day. It went to 150 pounds / no limit on number of packages after I had been there just a few years.

I think they have also. If I remember correctly that was one of the reasons in 1994 UPS gave for raising our limit .

Well from what I can find in the FedEx forum they have been delivering 150lb packages since at least 2010.

@Wyoming your fear mongering is getting old. I hope you enjoyed this discussion. Have a nice night.

I laugh to myself when I see the inside of the Express drivers truck on my route. 85% shoe boxes or smaller.

It’s been 150 for at least 15 years. In the legally drafted Agreement, there is no weight limit. We’ve had items get to the building well over the limit (that doesn’t exist) that building management forces contractors to deliver. Oh, they will do an “improper shipping report” on the item but since it “made it to our building, we should deliver it.”
My own sentiment on things like that is that I wouldn’t mind if it sat on the dock for a week straight just to get the idea through to the shipper that maybe another method should be considered in the future.

It has been 150 since before I started over 25 years ago.

Thank you.

It happen in our building also. We delivered 149kg package once. That had to put in a straight truck with a fork lift. It was a granite counter top.

I told my manager to tell them to come get!.

Gosh you're old!

 

[bbsam]

I do think Home Delivery had a 70lb limit but that’s been pretty irrelevant since most contractors run Ground and HD in the same areas.

 

[Brownslave688]

So to recap

FedEx has been delivering 150 lbs for years.

The 7 day work week we’ve all known was coming was covered in this last contract to keep RPCD from working weekends.

So total non story.

 

[Poop Head]

2 years is a long time!

It's an eternity, bro. Get woke!

 

[Dr.Brownz]

I dunno guys this seasoned driver says Fedex is gonna take our work! Better listen!

 

[Maplewood]

Its been 150 lbs since Febuary 95'

I apologize, @rod . Sounds like you might have delivered a few on your way out. LOL

 

[Shift Inhibit]

OK 542 -- are RPCDs prepared to deliver 7 days/week and handle 150 pound packages up the stairs to homes?

I am

This happened with a medical bed/crane at our hub. Beastly thing was on a pallet and well over 300 lbs.

Sat for weeks loool

Could we actually have a real discussion of this FedEx competition issue?

The competition based on the new hires at UPS this Peak is who has the longer dreads and more tattoos. Our new drivers look like disgusting juvenile detention center work release people. Ugh.
