[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4062561, member: 58386"] Here's what's not known. Could routing information loaded onto his scanner sent him to the wrong place? Secondly could the consignee have called him back to inform him that he was refusing the shipment after closing the stop? Furthermore, look at the stuff he's pulling off. Conclusive proof that Ground hauls environmentally friendly LTL freight ..... LTL freight without the pallet and he's expected to pull it off and lug it up to the door, or the garage or the fourth floor apartment at the same pace as you would shipments that are in fact true "packages". Not the kind of stuff they're lugging around now. The incident is clearly indicative of what's happening at Ground . People being expected to match and often exceed the daily production of the average UPS driver and do it for half the wages and minimal benefits if any at all. Eventually more and more contractors will fail not because of their " management skills" but rather by the disappearance of their cheap labor pool ..... It's the only thing keeping them going and if you look at the nationwide job boards they're crying for drivers XG deems qualified but no matter what the cost of living may be in a given labor market the pay difference is only about 100 bucks a week .
