Last box always the biggest

[JackStraw]

the receptionist decided to order a new baby crib to her work instead of her house

Did she ask if you can bring it to her car?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I have a doctor who insists upon having everything delivered to her office rather than her home. She averages 2-3 personal packages per day. The first day she asked if I would bring them to her car. I politely informed her that we offer home delivery. She didn’t ask me again.

Me too, funny story.... One day on a junk route I was missing one for an early business. It was a law firm so they usually get letters and small amazon boxes so I was searching my 1000 and 2000 shelf for it but never found it. As I kept delivering I kept having to move this massive bed frame looking box that the preloader put right in the middle of the truck so I could get to the packages under my 2000 shelf. I probably touched this big ass box 5 times before I got tired of it, so I moved it to the very back of my truck but wanted to check the address so I wouldn't forget about it and search for it later. Well it was the one I was missing from earlier...the receptionist decided to order a new baby crib to her work instead of her house

Was she hot or all busted up from the baby?

air >> bulk >> trace

There are days that you can't really do this though, for example if you have a half dozen residential stops with bulk that are too spread out.

You have no idea man. Chewy had put in a warehouse on my one area about 4 years ago. So not only did I have the big boxes to deliver daily to house, I also had to deliver all the returns to their building everyday. 80-100 of those boxes being returned DAILY. And payroll would come NDA one day a week so that was a separate deliver to the main office. It was fantastic.
Chewy actually blamed us for a screw up that one of their employees did at that building and that it the reason they switched to FedEx Ground. It happened overnight too. The called us and told us to get our crap out of there and the next day every door at their building was filled with purple and green. Good riddance.

And yeah, if I had a huge delivery, especially Sleep Number crap, it would be delivered as early as possible to make room. Especially if I had NDA in the area it was going. During peak I would usually JUST delivery bulk and NDA on my route before I would pick up my helper so we had room to move.

That's been my peak plan for the past 15 years or so. If I can't move in my truck, I can't do my job safely.

Last peak it was the QVC recliners making me crazy on my route.

The biggest box always goes to the house with no porch on a rainy day

Put the doormat over it and call it good

 

[Coldworld]

Only thing it says is that the biggest boxes go to residential addresses.
Lazy bastards !!! LOL

You can thank ups for giving all of the small stuff to the post office...

Hope it was a 2nd or 3rd floor business without an elevator

This is exactly what I do if I have some big bulk. Makes the day 10 times easier.

Safety is my #1 and jumping over boxes all day is not safe.
