[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 58068"] Seriously, there are handcarts that are taller than me. Not just loaded taller than me. I mean standing straight up. And I'm not the shortest driver in my center. The new ones come to my chin and I can function easily with 300 lbs loaded properly onto them. The old ones were designed at a time when UPS's weight limit for a package was 50 lbs, not 150. They are throwing out the old loop system, why not trash (or recycle) the out-dated equipment and have enough reasonably "newer" equipment to go around. Being a driver is a hard job. I knew that when I started. I am entitled to safe equipment. Our customers should have their packages delivered to them in a safe manner, a professional manner, not a humorous one. And believe me, it's humorous to see me struggling to park a non-power steering P-800 and then load twelve 40 lb packages onto a sorry excuse for a cola can with training wheels that nine times outta ten is broken in some way. I want to be proud to work for UPS. They make it sorta difficult sometimes. I should not have personalized your post, but I do think it belonged in "Heard any other good ones..." or somewhere, not here. I'll whine as loud and as long as I want. It makes me feel better and I deserve that. [/QUOTE]
