    Hate doing UPS loads at USX.

    1. They expected me to deliver from southern California to Portland, Or at 55 mph. Northern California/Southern Oregon is very mountainous. With 80,000 lbs....no way am I making it up those mountains at 55mph. When I got there...they tell me the speed limit for trucks is 65 mph. Not in CA or OR. Guy wanted to argue with me over it. 65 mph for his car but not my truck !!!!

    2. Their lots are super tight. Hard to get in and out.

    3. They maker you wait hours to pick up a load.

    Better late and safe with out a ticket than still getting there late cause you got pulled over.

    That seems heavy for small packages unless it was freight maybe but even then that still a lot for a parcel company

    That was that one time when we delivered to Oregon. My worst UPS delivery.

    They have a sign on their lot that says anyone speeding will be banned from all of their propertys.....tempting. Lol

    It is...got a few chemical customers I feel the same way about BUT my carrier says if you're banned from any facility then we can't use you...bye.

    But...there are other ways to end customer abuse of assumed power.......
