The operations consist of picking up items at the customer’s location for immediate delivery to the recipient as well as picking up at the customer’s or other sites and sorting by destination for delivery along local routes.
Most packages or parcels delivered by employers subject to this classification weigh 5 pounds or less, seldom reach 20 pounds and only rarely approach the 100-pound limit.
This classification is not to be used in any case where the employer owns the items being delivered.
