We don’t get paid by the box. If you are stupid enough to deliver a bulked out over dispatched package car in under 14 hours, you deserve to get screwed over and injured, regardless of gender.

No it’s not facts, it’s just you declaring something common sense and talking down to me because I disagree that women can’t do the job(ridiculous take).

Well, I said in my experience. Never said women couldn’t do the job. I said most don’t make it to retirement, and have no desire to do it at all. Perhaps you should read better. Probably just proves they’re smarter than us men if it’s anything.

I guess if you’re a huge flaming pusillanimous that lets management run you into an early grave then yes this is a physically demanding job.

To me this job is very easy and I do basically the bare minimum.

Here is a woman setting an 800 lb bike upright. If you’re straight lifting heavy packages and not using proper methods to get them on a 2 wheeler or calling for assistance, you’re doing the job wrong.

I never straight up lift more than 70lbs by myself, it is getting slid on a 2 wheeler or team lifted.

The rule is be able to lift 70lbs and handle up to 150lbs with assistance and equipment. The reality often is you're under a deadline to get everything delivered, there's no one available to assist, and a 150 lb pkg is still very heavy to maneuver. Done repetitively often leads to injuries.

I pushed an out of gas motorscooter weighing 360 lbs 4 miles once. Pulling a bike upright like that is far different than trying to pick up concentrated dead weight completely off the ground because of the way the bike is balanced and the ground bears much of the weight. Doesn't prove anything.

Thanks, Dave!

It doesn’t matter how many they put in my package car. I’m gonna work my 14 hours and scan the rest missed, while working in Orion order.

Who gives a if they screw themselves over by overfilling your truck?

I have no idea how your system works other than learning about the.zones in the truck. Just know that for three weeks the driver picked me up at my house and that huge stepvan was stuffed.

Yeah we don’t pick up over 70 lbs, that is my point. You can easily maneuver heavy stuff without ever having to lift it. Lifting it is not our job and something only idiots do.

If a woman is capable of maneuvering an 800 lb motorcycle upright, they can easily push a 150 lbs onto a 2 wheeler and deliver it, without ever having to lift it.

Did you driver help?

Yah, and a woman delivering a bulk shipment of 40 50lb boxes day after day is much more likely than a man to get her back injured eventually. It's the cumulative effect and no matter how much you want men and women to be interchangeable the reality is they aren't, on average, as physically capable as men. Some are real specimens who can work most men into the ground. There are always exceptions.

He was finding the next stops while I ran them to the door. He ran plenty too.

Are you available right now?

Ha ha, not in this lifetime. I also drove a golf cart towing a trailer for UPS in The Villages Christmas 2021. I noticed I just couldn't walk as fast as I used too. Like walking in water. 10 weeks later I had a heart attack. Clogged arteries were cutting off oxygen and slowing me down. Lucky I didn't drop dead doing those deliveries.

We roll it. Hope it packed well.

Your imaginary delivery would more than likely end up being multiple pallets and a bulk van/freight delivery, not package car. Can’t think of a single route like that.


And a woman could run that just as easily as a man.

Years ago I pulled my Ultra Classic Harley (with my wife on the back) into a parking lot in Yellowstone and laid it down just like that. Before I could even get my wife settled down this old biker dude who couldn't have weighed more than a hundred pounds (and that included 10 pounds of beard and a chain drive billfold) came running over and said 'let me stand that up for you" and proceeded to do so in about 10 seconds.

Then you never worked at FedEx. Commonplace, not an exception. These days that bulk would likely be handled by Ground.

You can’t be serious? My route is exactly like that. I don’t have very many over 70s but I do have lots and lots of 40 to 60 pound packages at docks and office buildings ( one of which is older and does not have a damn elevator) that you have to lift. And then on the backside, I have 35+ pick up. Anywhere from 800 to 1200 packages on a regular regular night picked up in a 1200 every single night.

I’m not sure he even works at UPS, imaginary delivery area, lol.

And whose fault is that Mr high seniority union veteran?
Surprised you can run such a tough route lacking a spine.
