Oooh...bad 804 driver....someone better call Neil...lol. While that is minor compared to how packages are treated inside the building....that driver should know better than to do that in public. But in his defense...he did use hand to surface....lol.

 

[Brownslave688]

Not that that was proper handling but any package packed good would survive being rolled over.

I'm curious I assume the driver carried it in? Why would he then roll it out? This job is one package at a time folks. Don't let minor set backs upset you.

It must be a slow news day. The driver rolled that package but that is less than what packages get normally going through the system. Anyone remember the old rule where packages were supposed to be packed well enough to withstand being dropped from waist height?

I think it would be funny if drivers flipped the script on customers with these videos. Each center alone could make their own "World's Dumbest Customers" documentary with the footage they'd collect. If our trucks had dash cameras like police cars those documentaries would be priceless.

Oh if the public could only see how their precious packages are treated inside the hub....I can hear the outrage from here! The problem isn't what the driver did..yea it was dumb...but it's the fact that it hit the local news. Tomorrow's PCM...hand to surface....

Yes it was wrong what he did , but we have all had that delivery

He just missed up and acted on it , should've waited until he got in the truck

Maybe he was pissed because the customer jerked him around on the COD. Making him wait then telling him no money. No excuse but possibly why he acted that way.

No story here , folks just move along .

Take the parcel in the back of the truck and drop kick it.

"Roll, walk, or slide" large or bulky items. Just had some remedial training on this. He did nothing wrong. Now, I personally would have carted of that long of a distance but per policy he's following the methods.

 

[CHALLY9TX]

Why didn't he use a handcart in the first place? I would like to see video of him bringing in the pkg.

agreed, it was stupid of him to use his foot to "roll" it.. and he should have just put it on a hand cart to make it easier on himself

There is absolutely no excuse for his behavior---he deserves to lose his job.

That's a bit extreme

 

[rod]

Not cool---it sure looks like he needed a 2-wheeler. I bet he gets a new one chewed-----unless he is a runner/gunner---then nothing will become of it.

Maybe he should have delivered it on his way home in his personal vehicle--off the clock like someone we know does.

 

[laffter]

Isn't it possible that he DIDN'T HAVE A BLOODY CART!? Jesus, people, is that such a foreign occurrence in your buildings?

Its possible but anyone who wants a cart has the right to have one. By contract UPS has to provide the tools necessary to get the job done. I always made sure I had one. A couple of times one wasn't available for some strange reason but I knew enough warehouse people on my route that I could borrow one of theirs for the day and give it back when I made the pickups that evening.
