[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 656815, member: 22610"] When I started the weight limit was 50 lbs. We could only accept two 50 lb boxes from any one shipper to any one consignee on a single day. We also had restrictive tariffs that prohibited shipping between certain states. We could ship to Canada before we could ship to Texas! We had a service guide that the shipper had to look through to see if we provided service to a particular zip code. This ended with trucking deregulation in 1980, and UPS saw record growth for a couple of years after the new laws took effect. We were hiring so many new drivers that all of the part timers who wanted to drive had become drivers, and we were hiring several in a row off the street. Those were the days. [/QUOTE]
