I have picked up heavy boxes where the bottom falls out before you can even get it on the package car. Leave it as improperly packaged.And you know, this is the kind ofthat pisses me off that we even accept it into our system. With a shape like that, how do you even get it to stay loaded on a hand cart?

I had 6 of those (picnic tables) going to our local high school. They were trashed! The loader told me about them and knew that I wouldn't take them.
Got a message to meet a driver at the high school to help him deliver those same tables.
There is no way in hell they should have been put on road.

Back in my preload days, I saw a gun safe get loaded onto a package car. Had to have been several hundred pounds.

We get a lot of those "amish Fireplaces" in certain neighborhoods. Just a glorified space heater.
This monster went to a wastewater treatment plant. It's being "remodeled." Not sure how you can remodel a
hole, but they're certainly trying lolThe contractor brought his fork lift around for this thing.
But don't get me wrong, I'm more than capable of handling the hole of a man larger than this one

I've delivered a small front wheel drive transaxle one time that was strapped down to a small pallet. That's about as crazy as things have gotten with drivetrain stuff.

Crammed one into a P5 last peak, only about 140 though. (Thank god for freekin Amazon). Delivered it to the garage door, that was far enough for me.

Of course, the Customer will put in a complaint with the Company and post on Social Media:
"Lazy UPS Driver delivered my item and left it right in front of the garage! Anyone could have come along and stolen it!"
Of course, they try to make us look bad and neglect to say it weighed 140lbs!

I remember sometimes getting several of those on some days. They could really spoil what might be an otherwise decent load. We started referring to them as the Amish Whorehouse.

One of my pick-ups was an Iron Works. One day they had this big chunk of tooled metal strapped to a pallet and marked 150 lbs. Next Day Air. They set it in the back of my truck with a fork lift. At that time I believe shipping on it was close to $300.00. I jokingly asked they if the consignee would accept it COD. They thought so. Three days later it came back marked "Refused no COD's. They ripped the COD tag off it and sent it back out after writing it up again without me even unloading it . Over $600 bucks into shipping into that gem.

One of our drivers had a call tag to pick up a case of paper. The weight on the call tag was 476 lbs. Turns out they had issued one tag for 20 cases of paper.
