UPS Package or has it become UPS Freight

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

...at which point they would send out a real man to get the job done...


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

How many over 150 pound packages have you delivered?

He comes in extra extra early to delivery them off the clock I bet. They would slow him down too much during the day.

Zero

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

Your wife use that line on you a few times?

 

[Turdferguson]

Your wife use that line on you a few times?

More than a few

 

[Brownslave688]

More than a few

Mostly when you're in bed and she asks for a real man and you say I am a real man...

Between this week and last, I have had 4 that were over 8 feet long. My 1st stop is a shipper and we measured them. They want to know why they cannot ship stuff that long.

It appears that trampoline season has started. 2-140 lb boxes per set. I HATE trampolines.

I understand what the contract says, that being said im not a vagina. Delivering a 100+ Lb package isnt that difficult if you use existing equipment. And being a driver who in the past who was about to punch out then had to drive to help some mary with a 80lb package its just not me. You cant deliver a 100lb package, fine, thats within your rights. Dont expect me to come help you.

you'll help if you're told to

 

[MrBrown]

No i wont, ive refused in the past. Theres certain drivers that i wouldnt piss on if they were on fire

 

[barnyard]

If you are on the 9/5 list and reply with, "am I being forced" you will rarely, if ever, have to help someone.

I can't wait to be on that list!!!

 

[MrBrown]

Or just say no. Not sure how some of you differentiate between refusing to deliver a package and refusing to help someone.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

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

It says right in the contract that no union employee will be required to handle packages over 150lbs. Needs to be broken down into smaller packages.

 

[Box Ox]

Not sure how some of you differentiate between refusing to deliver a package and refusing to help someone.

One is based on objective size/weight criteria per the Contract. The other is refusing to work as directed when your instructions are not a violation of the Contract.

Not much incentive for mgmt to stop these:

Over Maximum Limits

• Packages with an actual weight of more than 150 pounds, or that exceed 108 inches in length, or exceed a total of 165 inches in length plus girth [(2 x width) + (2 x height)] combined, as measured to determine their billable weight, are not accepted for transportation.

• If found in the UPS system, they are subject to additional charges.

• Refer to the “UPS Tariff/Terms and Conditions of Service – United States” for more information.

• $500.00 per package

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

This is the problem , because we all know ups charges them and they don't take it out the system

Not where I am. If we find it, we stop the progress of the package. Either customer needs to come get it or pay extra to have Freight take it the rest of the way.
