Take that UPS lol....
While I am not convinced of the validity of either of these two videos, it makes sense to keep things at waist level, as often as possible.
I've been a proponent of stoop lifting since I started working. Whenever I am confronted about it I just tell them I'm the person most responsible for my own safety. So much of the safety stuff UPS pushes is based on junk science. I'm not going to blow out my knees because of an old wive's tale. I'm not going to flush out all of my electrolytes because nestle wants to sell more bottled water.

My pet peeve has always been people going in to help me with an overloaded preload assignment and simply throwing everything out of the cages and onto the floor. Sure it's faster, but my back feels it later on. Keep as much stuff off the floor as possible, both for you and your driver.

This is how Dragon and Tears bend at the knees.

I do whatever I want while on road. If it's a large heavy package, I drive up to the garage and push it out and let it drop. Not like it was treated any better at the hub.
Thursday I had a 132lb smoker grill and another 80lb "accessory kit" box. Pulled up next to the driveway and pushed it out the back with a huge "thud". friend 'em. Your crap is not worth a spinal surgery.
Attitudes like this it’s time to walk away.
I’d strangle my delivery guy if I caught him dropping my brand new grill for the summer off the back and I’d make the driver pay for a new one there and then or he ain’t leaving my drive way.
Any customer who makes threats and it's a 911 call ASAP. How about the "man" who sees you struggling with something and waits at the front door shouting at you where he wants you to put it. friend these people. And FYI the wealthy neighborhoods are the worst at this.
But you work in customer service.
So does a cashier. Doesn't mean people have a right to threaten you.
This part is true. Can't even begin to count how many times "rich" people see ups pull up, go in the house and shut the doors, garage door, or the funniest is when they are sitting in their car in the driveway and pretend they don't notice you. Lmao. Just be nice, cart it to the front door. We provide a service. Also, just think, do you wanna be the guy that is cranky and grumbling obscenities, the guy running accross yards and flinging packages, or the guy whistling a happy tune and enjoying the day?And FYI the wealthy neighborhoods are the worst at this.

We work in a customer service industry, I’d strangle my delivery guy if I caught him dropping my brand new grill for the summer off the back and I’d make the driver pay for a new one there and then or he ain’t leaving my drive way.
We don’t have to drop our standards, slide it down the hand cart off the back and wheel it to the house. It’s amazingly easy and you get back in drivers seat with some pride you did your job correctly.
Attitudes like this it’s time to walk away.

When UPS overloads the cars like they do, no one is "walking away" from a career here. It's more like get your walker and away you go. 132lb smoker grills are not "packages". It is freight and I'm not having an MRI or missing playing catch with my kids because you got a deal on some online crap. Call me whatever you want. You'll be the one in the scooter while I walk past and laugh.
