Complaint = $400
Work comp claim = $10-20,000 in increased premiums over the next 3 years.
Where are you confused?
I'm not confused. I just don't believe a word you say. You don't tell your employees that.

I do it often. It's a common safety topic. It's called loss prevention, you train your employees not to risk injury to service one customer. You're saying you understand the financial incentive to train my drivers like that but don't believe I do it? No surprise you never expanded past a single route, this is pretty basic stuff.

Ask for more than a nickel from FedEx as they are asking a lot more from their customers.
"Besides the rate increases, FedEx will also hike the costs of a broad range of "accessorial" charges, fees for services beyond the basic pick-up and delivery services. For example, effective this Nov. 2 FedEx Ground will impose a $110 special fee on "unauthorized" shipments, which are packages whose dimensions or combined dimensions and weight are beyond the unit's maximum handling capabilities and would be transported at its discretion. The fee is in addition to the rate charged to move the shipment, according to Shipware data.
FedEx will also boost its surcharge for "oversize" shipments—packages that weigh less than 150 pounds but exceed 108 inches in length or 130 inches in combined length and girth—to $67.50 per shipment from $57.50, Shipware said. The increase, which is on top of the shipping rate, takes effect Jan. 4."

Break your drivers knees and backs.
If x puts it on your truck you tell your employees to deliver it.

Your in business. Get a bigger truck! You know, with all the control you have over your ISP negotiations.
Thanks Worldwide. I like the part regarding shipping an oversize piece of freight saying that it will ship it at it's descretion. Yeah right. The first time a conractor/driver refuses to try to load one of those "boulder in a box" pieces you know damn well he will be ripped into by management the very next morning

Happens pretty often in the heavy industrial areas. I never hear a peep when we refuse to take overweight shipments. They'll try to convince us, but we laugh it off saying it's obviously not safe to handle a 200lb crate in a step van. Sometimes they'll send it out in a tractor, often it just goes back to the shipper.

Valuable contribution to the discussion, thanks for sharing.
Not so.
One of the things that began to occur at our terminal was stuff coming in on pallets. What did they have us do? Evertbody get grab a corner and grunt it onto the back of the truck and their rate structure simply means more of it, After all it's not their springs and shackles getting broken or their people injured. They will continue to exploit those advantages until there is an organized move to stop it.
I tell them it can sit on the dock for six days. Supposedly there is an "improper shipping report" they are required to fI'll out and send back to the shipper. How can they do that if it's on my truck?
