[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6032106, member: 24302"] I posted those numbers. Don't get lost in the weeds. If I delivered 40 50lb boxes or thereabouts then within that delivery you'd find three boxes from one shipper, 18 from another, a bunch of singles, and so on(numbers fluctuate daily). That's the nature of overnight air shipments that come in from all over and arrive in a container. Not palletized. On top of that may have heavy boxes going to other deliveries on the same truck. Then pickup heavy boxes going to numerous locations and thus aren't palletized. And when we get back to the station we're unloading our trucks if we aren't in a station with a big enough window to make it feasible to hire handlers who handle the reload while couriers go home. I've worked all over the country for FedEx and everywhere I worked I saw women get injured at a much higher rate. Used to work next to a woman who would beg me to take heavy bulk stops from her whenever she got one. She had had back operations. As I said before some women are built to take it. But on average they can't handle what men can in terms of strength and stamina. [/QUOTE]
