We are suppose to deliver packages that are typically under 70lbs.
That doesn't stop the bow flex pkgs, or pottery barn rugs or select comfort beds.
Just saying.
HD started out at Day 1 in March 2000 by sending all oversize packages to the nearby Ground Facility along with packages with business addresses. Within a couple weeks, Corporate got on the local mgr to force HD drivers to take everything that showed up in the terminal. Then the 'temporary' requirement during initial startup to work at least 9 hours a day became permanent, and the whole original concept of HD was over within about 3-4 months.
I do remember 'Sleep Number' beds with multiple large boxes basically filling some of the short cargo vans HD originally allowed. Plus we were delivering a lot of miniblinds that were longer than the cargo area. There were a lot of unhappy HD contractors who didn't get what they were promised. I still have the original ad I answered to be part of a brand new delivery service backed by fedex. Set your own hours, full or part time, real independence, all lies.
