A bag is a small, a letter or 4 or 5 lb box... Let's raise it up to 20 lbs and give everything to the po I won't need to work here anymore then they can lay you off too since there will be nobody that you need to look at reports for 8 hours a day on or have to follow anyone around either.... Don't put it past them.. You are probably more expendable that anyone!!

The cut off for all smalls is 15 pounds. I'm not suggesting anything more go to the post office.

Don't worry there's enough going there already....this will be a hot topic in the next contract negotiations

A hot topic where nothing will change.

Too bad your book doesn't matter. Smalls cut off is 15 pounds.

Article 26 paragraph 2 states otherwise. Please read in its entirety and follow the contract. This is in the national so it's everywhere.

Sigh, you do realize not all smalls are surepost right? As a matter of fact most smalls aren't surepost.

Yeah I realize that, been around longer than you I think. Your post was about what then exactly?

Drivers in my center who use forever bags are asked not to put anything heavier than 8 lbs in there.

Do not sheet packages that you do not see. If packages are not in truck, check details of stop to see if they are bags or packages you are missing, you can tell the difference packages start with a 1z, bags start with a higher number usually 7. Send message via did that you are missing x bags and x packages, they can look up the tracking numbers from the center, then details not found

Ah yes, the old I have been around forever so I know everything argument.

My post was about how one person doesn't get to determine what a small is. The cutoff is 15 pounds for smalls.

That is because UPS redefined what it calls a "small" It used to be no more than a couple of pounds and small enough to fit through a coathanger.

A small is anything that fits through 2 strapped together Goodyear Wranglers.

That 15# you mention must only be in your building. It's 8 lb. in a bag here,(non-Sure post).Sure post pkgs. are 10# per the contract., and 3 cubic feet. I didn't say I knew everything but I'm aware of how UPS does things. So me knowing our smalls cutoff is 8 lbs. is a start. I don't do time cards, but I know there is something called time card edits that are to be posted if that helps.

Smalls were defined in my building as "shoe box size and smaller, weighing 5# or less"

8lbs. is the cutoff here too.
Problem is, after they automated smalls sort, you'd often get bags that were over 70lbs. Wanna make a bag over 70, no problem, put the overweight tape on it and keep it off the belts. Unzipped them and dumped those heavy SOB's out every time they came down the chute.

I'm told by sup to do this.... I'm a casual and don't want to be paid over by doing this all the time.
Guessing my loader doesn't scan some pkgs that he throws into the bags.
Stealing time? I'm not one of those guys that hangs around the DIAD room for 45min waiting to punch out.... I scratch my route and go home, just want to know proper protocol on handling this issue.

Hey!, I take offense to that comment about stealing time. Those guys that hang around the diad room waiting to punch out are taking the personal time they have coming. My bet is they didn't take it on route. The longer you work here you will realize most people don't like to work for free. Not all routes have fair allowances as well.
