well he should have put fragile stickers on it
Having worked at FedEx, everything has fragile stickers and “this way up” arrows. If I payed attention to every notice on every package, I’d run out of room on the truck before I was even halfway through my shift. Plus I’d be spending way too much time in the truck, and I’d constantly be running down the conveyor to collect packages I missed while I was in there. The only special instructions we have the time to address are the hazmat signs. But yeah, some people literally punt packages onto their trucks, so there’s a middle ground to be found.
Gonna fedex a big plastic box of diarrhoea with a cardboard lid and “this way up” painted correctly. You’ll never turn my packages upside-down again.
It would’ve spilled long before it got to me and the local delivery trucks I’d be loading. We’d be unpacking large cross-country semis that were packed so haphazardly that unofficial protocol was to open them and run; one time I almost had a car jack land on my head that someone decided to shove in on top of a stack of boxes.
Can confirm the semi thing, worked for a national post carrier for few months and sometimes had to help load and unload trucks for international shipments.
It would basically be us playing Tetris with the packages until about chest level, then someone would have to climb on top of that stack to fill it up to the ceiling. The smaller stuff and mail bags just get yeeted into whatever gap that exists.
Even after all that, there wouldn’t be much space left, so package your stuff well I guess
May I dare ask who you would be delivering this to?
Good question. Myself, probably.
Don’t forget the biohazard stickers
You fill your own truck?
Can’t speak with authority, but presumably FedEx employs packers and drivers; this person was probably speaking as a packer and referring to the truck they’re packing as “the truck.”
Is that a euphemism?
I never delivered packages, I only loaded them on the trucks. I’d usually be assigned 3-4 trucks depending on package load and how many people decided to show up that day.
Ah gotcha, my cousin worked for ups and loaded trucks also, making the drivers mad all the time haha
Yeah, they’re always mad about something. They’ll look at their trucks packed to the brim with boxes and wonder why we didn’t put each and every package in the exact correct location. We’d do our best, but by the end of the day we’d just be putting them wherever they’d fit.
no amount of stickers will stop a rogue fedex agent from playing football with your packages
He didn’t rig shit!
WE CAN SHOW THEM NUDE CUZ THEY AINT GOT NO SOULS
“No, you’re looking for St John’s Church on Peter Street. This is St. Peter’s Church on John Street.”
“Are you going to sign for this? If not I have to put him back in the truck”
Worked in a FedEx sorting facility and I did see a cadaver moved. Was like a laboratory one made of metal thogh, so we put on our shin guards on before kicking it
They’re saying, “Coffin Flop’s not a show. It’s just hours and hours of footage of real people falling out of coffins at funerals. There’s no explanation. Just body after body busting out of shit wood and hitting pavement.”
“They say, ‘There’s no way this is happening that often that you would have countless hours of footage of bodies falling outta these coffins. You gotta be settin these up.”
FedEx not bad where I live, but UPS? My friend said she always knew when they were delivering when she heard the box hit the house, they literally just hurled packages from the truck. I used to sell Avon and had to get it delivered to the local office not my house because UPS was the carrier and nothing would survive. My ex heard the driver that delivered to his work negotiating to sell the stuff on his truck.
