[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 3807015, member: 50088"] One has to wonder where the 70 lb classification came to be as the point at which a package is defined as heavy. I get that it has to start somewhere but the problem is that weight is relative to who is lifting it. To an older lady, 70 lbs is an impossible task. While the record deadlift is 1,155 lbs. Power lifters in this league can lift 70 lbs with their little finger and hold it for an hour. I'm always amazed at the abundance of packages that go through our system that happen to weigh 69 lbs. They all weigh more than 70 but no extra time allowance. That's OK though. 69 lbs is not heavy. 70 lbs is heavy. Or how about extra time allowance for a heavy for one over 70, but when you have ten 65 lb boxes at a bulk stop, there's no extra weight allowance. [/QUOTE]
