[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1228502, member: 43436"] Obviously what I wrote is a generalization; given the size & breadth of UPS, experiences may differ. That said, what you're conveying may be the company's protocol, but it is indeed an exception. A clear majority of drivers will make no effort to assist in delivering, even when practical. For example, if the last stop of night has two 50 lbs. boxes being delivered up a long driveway, most drivers will sit on their behinds while the helper makes two trips to deliver the packages (they won't even bother to provide the handcart). And the 17-day peak is closer to the average... We typically experience a four-week peak about every six years -- but we had two in a row. [/QUOTE]
