I.appreciate the delivery men sticking to the rules. I had delivery fools cause over $2,000 in damage moving a sofa up a stair case into my new apartment. The young men were not strong enough for the job and dragged it on freshly painted walls making huge gouges because they could no coordinate lifting a piece of furniture. I ended up spending over $3,000 and did not get a couch until I went to a company with better workers. That company moved the same size sofa into my new place with 2 men.

My company does only kerbside delivery , if a customer wants us to go up their driveway etc..... 1) up to the driver 2) on the back of our invoices there is terms & conditions & they sign it clearing us of liability & accepting it themselves . Must be signed before attempting more than kerbside .

This is pretty standard for building materials in the uk. Only guaranteed to kerbside but will attempt to place somewhere else if possible with a liability waiver.

"If you can't get it to X location, I don't even want it." Okay, then hire a contractor to deal with all that for you.

If you want the driver to do all the heavy lifting, then contract him as a sub.

[@mradavid]

i like to educate when i can. The natural rate of unemployment is around 4-5%, right now its about 4.7%. The worker shortage isn't a matter of people not wanting to work because they're collecting unemployment, the issue is Covid drove a lot of people out of the labor market, A lot of older people retired due to Covid, which shrunk the worker supply, and because of covid, a lot of younger people opted to go to college instead of joining the workforce, which also leads to a shortage of workers. Truckers who made 80-120k a year arent going to quit their jobs for 400/week and decide not to go back, I don't care how lazy they are, especially now with trucking companies offering tens of thousands in signing bonuses

[@josmith9662]

my front door is 20 meters from the road and I only buy heavy stuff if I know that the deliverers will enter it into the house.

Proper regulations and oversight are the skeleton of civilization. When a literal pandemic is sweeping across the world and idiots act like wearing a mask and NOT projecting their bodily fluids onto others is just too much, things need to be addressed. It's NOT just the morons acting like only THEY matter that suffer. But the people that are just trying to make due. They don't deserve to be made sacrificial lambs bc the owners are taxpayers and private businesses. If a place is shut down bc of sanitation or food contamination issues, no one bats an eye. But covid and improper sanitization can cause vast amounts of spread. It's literally minutes from exposure to start spreading it. With symptoms being a week out to properly express. Just like people try to compare to other near catastrophic outbreaks acting like bc covid is not near instantly lethal to 99% of exposed. That the measures taken are not justified. Heck most places had to keep going back into lockdowns bc morons took loosening of restrictions as if it meant the disease was gone. Thus causing massive upswells in the spread. So many would have been completely ruined as most americans CANT absorbed a month of no work. With all the overpayments of bs over priced crap that gets bribed into being allowed, like medical insurance. Getting a sprained ankle can break a family. Let alone losing a job and having literally near zero prospects. While the wealthy just gorge themselves on their price gouging and profiteering. But they are 'taypayers'(if you pay less than a person working 3-4 jobs and barely technically NOT homeless you are NOT paying your fair share of taxes) and own 'private' businesses so they are allowed apparently whatever they want. Might as well bring back company towns and sweatshops.
