Have them here in San Diego already.

From what I'm told they get paid the same as the Van drivers so they are having trouble getting people to do it because of no AC and heavier packages. Lol

Tome's here to broker the Amazon takeover. It won't be pretty for the IBT.

I like the handle they have on the back of the cars. Well done amazon well done. Also they have ac, everyone should move to amazon ASAP bc we are a sinking ship. Or so this forum says idk

The helpers use them, they ride around like fireman. Much quicker and more efficient than UPS.

For the kids to jump on and have a safe, 3 point contact ride.

Maybe UPS can install these and shave 45 mins off every time allowance. That's the solution for all problems.

Amazon’s got the money and the market share to accomplish just about anything it’s fully committed to. If they need to up employee compensation they will.

Do thier drivers even carry DOT physical cards? I have heard it both ways.

You all just keep making your little jokes and snide remarks about Amazon. Meanwhile keep your fingers crossed that UPS survives.

Also saw this on that article

Two drivers, who declined to be named for fear of retaliation, opted not to switch to the new vehicles because they are heavier and more difficult to maneuver than Amazon vans.

Bunch of pusillanimous these trucks so narrow squeeze through anything. Just got to learn not to suck at driving.
