The idea that I could wait for the truck behind the scenes so to speak, was that I had on the same color Dickies as UPS. I guess with all brain dead representatives that inhabit the UPS and USPS, I was okay, as I had the same uniform. Well, while waiting for my truck, I had the privilege of watching the UPS Apes in action. A a truck backed up to the dock (all indoor btw) they unloaded the trucks in this manner. Take a package out and throw it on the conveyor wheels. Fragile packages as marked, were give special attention. Pick them up and smash them down on whatever surface is handy, floor conveyor. Some were given even better attention. Drop-kicked across the conveyor to the head of the line. Nice work boys. This is a true story witnessed by me So. Eastern Mass. depot.

This reminds me of a story from my uncle and aunt who used to work for UPS many moons ago. When loading or unloading a truck when there was no conveyor near there would be a bucket burgade(I know I misspelled that) like line of people tossing packages from one person to the next...If the package looked heavy the next person down the line would intentionally not catch it!
