Poor UPS guy...

Recommended Posts

Those wooden crates of surplus ammo weigh a lot. I have several of them here. Felt bad for the UPS guy delivering them. I keep the old crates around for step-stools.

 

Yup, the 54r runs about 55 lbs. UPS loves when I order them.

When I bought a generator a few years ago I ordered it with liftgate service since I obviously don't have a loading dock at my house.

 

They sent it fedex freight, billed for lift gate service.

 

Fedex arrives with a truck without a lift gate.

 

Told them I have no loading dock, either go back and get a truck with a lift gate or figure out something.

 

They call another guy and the three of them lift it down from the truck manually.

 

Idiots.. Fedex that is, for sending the wrong truck.

I work for UPS inside the lawnside HUB, loading trucks both locally and tractor trailers that get shipped across the country, good for business but I'd be lying if I said that a lot of my co-workers weren't complaining. Feel bad for the drivers in Texas, trust me.

You sure UPS would be doing the delivering and not a shipping company they drop ships it to you driveway and you have to get tit in the house or where ever you want it?

Getting tit in the house may make me want to move the safe into the house.

    • What's the crime for riding a dirt bike on the street? Most likely a fine, misdemeanor at most. That justifies causing severe bodily injury through use of lethal force by auto?  There is no way to predict that he would have hit anyone, it's more like a 99.9% he wouldn't have hit anyone.  And that was a 2 lane road, not a pedestrian walkway. Hopefully he hires a good lawyer and everyone is held accountable for their actions.
    • Seriously? “Sounds Fishy”? You can’t think of a reason why the cop thought that was going to happen after watching the video? The cops are there after multiple reports/complaints of vehicles in the pedestrian walkway and reports of near misses. The ATV is on a pedestrian walkway where there are not supposed to be any vehicles and is moving at very fast pace. If he couldn’t stop for the police car, what makes you think he could stop in time for a pedestrian. He dynamited the breaks to avoid hitting the car and lost complete control of the ATV. Luckily the mass of the car prevented it from continuing to tumble down the walkway and take out pedestrians like bowling pins. If he had hit the brakes like that to avoid hitting a pedestrian instead of the car, would the ATV not have flipped? What would the now out of control ATV have done to any people in the walkway? Would the first person be hit have enough mass to stop the ATV in its proverbial tracks? I have seen plenty of pedestrians stuck. It is never like the movies. They don’t parkour out of the way of a speeding car - especially when pushing a baby carriage and the vehicle is approaching from the rear in a place where you think you are safe because vehicles are it permitted.

    • Why would he think the ATV rider was going to run over the pedestrians? Were the pedestrians laying in the road? Sounds fishy. A good lawyer will have a field day with this one.
    • If I lived in the hills, (or the burbs with a tall tree) I'd invest in at least one dedicated repeater and a solar based system to power it.  I don't think you need a tremendous amount of battery capacity, as the repeater will be on standby most of the time.  It will only draw serious current when it transmits. I think one could set up a reliable, self sustaining private node for around $1,500, maybe less.   Agree 100%
