Has it always been multiple 12 foot pieces, multiple over 100lbs packages in car? Seems like it has become freight cars instead of package cars.
UPS Package or has it become UPS Freight

Lady had a sign today “UPS - take package upstairs to front door” it was a giant overweight bow flex. Backed into driveway and to the garage it went! NO CUSTOMER WILL QUESTION OUR SAFETY!

Had two 6x6” x 10’ 140 lb pkgs today all crated up in plywood. Like how one of them was loaded on top of other boxes crushing them. I recently delivered a pkg to a commercial stop that said something like 168lbs. I commented to the receiver that i thought our limit was 150. He said no, just got to pay more. Still wont request help from another driver to deliver over weights.

I killed myself on tuesday digging over irregs to get a single bag loaded into a pc. Today I just loaded 10 of my own boxline cages with irregs. Gave my supervisor a heart attack when I pulled them all out at 8:30 and made a solid wall of em.

Never handle an over 70 without help from a bargaining unit employee

Our limit is 150. If you see anything heavier than that you sheet it as Non delivery-overweight and bring it back to the center. If people keep letting stuff like this slide they will expect it from all of us. Ups cannot make you deliver anything over 150lbs so don't do it!

The rule of thumb is that if it makes it all the way to the center it will be put out for delivery.

Yes and no—-depends upon the package and delivery location.

I don't care what the company says. Our contract has the limit to 150lbs so I WILL NOT deliver anything over that. Not a damn thing Ups can do about it. The customer can come pick that

Don’t you find it exhausting to constantly hide behind the contract?

They would most likely call the customer to have them pick it up.
Something wrong with wanting to protect yourself from a career full of over 150 pounders?

Article 44 of the master says differently
"Packages over 150 pounds shall not be picked up. However, if such
a package is discovered in the UPS system, the package shall not be
handled by a bargaining unit employee unless such package can be
reasonably broken down into packages which do not exceed 70
pounds."
Package movement should be stopped and a freight company contacted and shipper charged to move the package

A "real" man by your standards wouldn't be able to do this job for 30 years by delivering over 150lbs packages all day you maroon. You gain nothing by attempting to act tough by delivering a heavy ass box. I have a career to think about, not delivering some ladies new bedroom set.

Is collecting guarantee pay exhausting?
You violate the contract daily and ignore the methods daily.

You realize there is a difference between a "real man" and an idiot?
