Caught On Tape: UPS Guy Hurls Package
When this video's owner set up surveillance video cameras up around his house, he probably thought he'd catch a couple of kids cutting through his yard, someone stealing his paper or maybe the neighbor's dog using his lawn as a urinal. Instead, he struck gold with tape of a lazy UPS guy hurling a package at the front door from a neighboring yard. Hello, Customer Service complaint! Remember that the next time you send anything that isn't made by NERF.

Ummm... I have news for all of you. I worked for UPS, and whatever you catch a driver doing out in the open is NOTHING compared to what goes on in the hubs. I loaded UPS trailers for a year and a half, and on numerous occasions I was told by managers and higher ranking officials that to speed up the loading, I should THROW... computers into the trailers. Most trailers have skids that the packages slide down, but some areas of hubs don't, and a loader must manually walk the package into the trailer, then walk back out to get the next package. So yeah, I was basically ordered to hurl peoples' and businesses' computers costing thousands of dollars to the back of trailers. UPS really doesn't care what you're shipping, they won't handle it with care once they get your money.

I would like to see the person who wrote the caption for this video get in the drivers seat of a ups truck. It takes a real man to sit at a computer and criticize other hard working people. Theres plenty of reason why this driver did that. He could have had permission from the owner of the house, there could have been a dog, the package could have been clothes, it could have been a friend of the driver. If more people worked like we did America would be in better shape. Also, in response to the comment by Chris, remember "hand to surface"? Hurling the package is why you WORKED for UPS and are no longer there. We spend everyday working our butts off for our customers from sun up to way after sun down. Have some respect.

So you think that it could have been clothes or the owner gave permission HA! that is real funny. When I loaded trucks for UPS we did throw packages just like the first guy said thats how we were told to do things. I also worked on the sort isle were packages are constantly thrown especially when that belt got jammed up. When I started doing deliveries we would come back another time if their was a dog. So what are you talking about? What he did was "Pure Laziness" thats why he threw the package. You might not want to admit that cause that is were your income comes from. I will say that it is hard work but thats no excuse. I worked for UPS for 5 years until I quit to do other things.

Well - that explains some of the packages I receive. Somehow, I'm not surprised

I knew a former UPS driver that said drivers would ditch the packages in empty lots if they couldn't find the address.

you must have worked at a crapy HUB or either had bad management because we get in alot of trouble if we dont use a good hand to surface method.. dont use one hub to determine the entire handling of all Ups locations nation wide. How naive...And obviously you sucked at it and got fired. Now you still have harsh feelings toward the company and will go to any extent to try and ruin them.. what a slime.. They spend more money a year training thier employees than you will ever make in a lifetime buddy. Training them to be successful at thier jobs with a small chance punks like you will listen and apply the skills they have to offer.
