That's when you open the back door, reverse at a high speed, and slam on the brakes. Wood chipper deliveredI loaded a wood chipper today @ 148 pounds, hand to surface please when you launch that thing out the back door onto the driveway
Funny, I was going to post this very same thing.That's when you open the back door, reverse at a high speed, and slam on the brakes. Wood chipper delivered
Sheet as over weight and let them pick it up at the center.Kinda like the 175 pound whatever i had to deliver today that was in a heavy duty plastic box with wheels, err a wheel, the other was broken. Cant believe they threw that on there.
And they are holding those shipments to deliver on a single day. Monster truck tires. Patio furniture sets. Bumpers for vehicles. 150 lb wooden crates.King size bed frames .. I have delivered all of these this week...IE showed them on paper, it would work. They think everything is a letter.
Everything has gotten bigger and heavier and the same people are getting
multiple shipments everyday.
The article says that UPS is trying to get a freight line to handle this work, not package. If it happens, I hope to not see recliners and other furniture on my package car.

"Had to deliver"Kinda like the 175 pound whatever i had to deliver today that was in a heavy duty plastic box with wheels, err a wheel, the other was broken. Cant believe they threw that on there.
If/when they are found, the penalty is $650/package.
This is going to be the new "damaged/missed". I'm sure it will be a hot metric. "zero oversize penalties please today, perfect service monday"
I suspect there will be more focus and attention on these packages that are overmax/oversize. At $650 per package for the penalty, it's kind of hard to pass up. A few of these surcharges and the shippers who knowingly (or unknowingly) break the rules, will change their shipping behavior quickly. If UPS rolls out a home delivery solution for these large overmax/oversize packages in the near future, it could work out well for customers and UPS. UPS and FedEx simply don't want these packages in the small package system. The systems and buildings were not designed to handle these but more importantly, they are a danger to anyone handling them. Let UPS Freight or an alternative delivery network handle these packages.

How do they even get into the system?
I doubt Turd would allow a full size fridge to be shipped.
And, I highly doubt a driver would put one on the truck with the business stops.
So, just how DO they get into the system?
From June 4, UPS is hiking per-package surcharges for pallets and packages heavier than 150 pounds from $500 to $650, a $150 increase, according to a May 11 message on its website. UPS is adding a new $1-per-package fee if retailers mislabel a package's dimensions.
