[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 353798, member: 12570"] When we first started delivering the O/70s, we had one driver who decided to make a statement. He had a 71lb pkg and requested help in delivering it. He was told that there was no help available and to do what he could to get it delivered. Well, he ended up bringing the pkg back because he was not given help. He longer works here (not related to this incident). Common sense has to prevail. Most bulk stops are more than willing to lend a hand. Residential stops are, of course, a different story but proper planning (hand cart) and use of the methods should ensure safe delivery of the O/70. WalMart, with its Ship to Store program, has been receiving over 70s for quite some time, which is not a big deal, but the receiving clerk at our local store should really be home babysitting her grandchildren so delivering these pkgs is all on me, to include not only getting them off the car and on to their dock but moving them to where she wants them. Did I mention I love WalMart? [/QUOTE]
