UPS’ new trucks look straight out of a Pixar movie

[Mugarolla]

Tell ‘em it’s got AC, a radio and heated seats.

We don't have it that luxurious, no heated seats.

 

[Box Ox]

Right. But why leave feeders if you can’t have them while delivering?!

 

[bitter to the bone]

I think hands down this is the best-looking version of the package car that UPS has had

 

[brownmonster]

Does anyone outside of UPS really care what we use to deliver?

If someone in a Yugo delivers my paper towels on Sunday I'm happy.

Is there no end to what UPS will waste money on?

Yes, their employees.

 

[Heavy Package]

Yes, their employees.

I would say that would be money well spent, but even our Union is discussing 2-tier wages this contract....Where does UPS want to save money? Off the backs of employees who actually move the packages from point A to point B. Disgusting. There are so many do-nothing "managers" walking around my hub it is like Dawn of the Dead in there most days...

The new package cars have panels jutting out of the sides, extra plastic pouches, even more under-hanging shelf supports, this strange caliper-looking beam in the back, and big plastic caps on the ends of the overhead door gliders.

They do realize these things are going out with 300+ pieces right?

Haha global leaders? The amount of diesels at my center is enough to punch its own hole through the ice caps. My truck sounds like a peterbilt with straight pipes, cool as hell to drive but shakes every house in the street.

My hometown back in the UK run p1000’s although never looked to see if they’re right or left hand drives considering it’s the same model truck as what we have. Mercedes make most package cars back in the UK now though.

Windshield glass looks spendy.

I know that the few electric vehicles we have received ran for a couple mo the and now are sitting in the back of the property not being used... mechanics said they are a pita to work on also...

Nearby hub is about 30% out of service on the hybrids.

Lots of places to stash piss bottles.
