[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1229353, member: 50088"] Just like I drive. Gotta love UPS because all they talk about is safety but they keep these dangerous old trucks going. They are going on 30 years old. Give'em up. No power steering = destroyed shoulders and slow steering response that could cause an accident that would be avoided with power steering. High step = screwed up knees, more likely trip and fall hazard. Manuals = more wear and tear on knees (clutch) and shoulders (stick) Also a feature often forgotten is that the newer trucks have much wider floors up front allowing for much easier unloading. When you place a package down for unloading through front door, you can actually step around it without tripping and squeezing by. I can't wait until they finally get rid of them all. The hardest part of the job is steering a non power steering PC. Compounded throughout the day, it is more work than unloading the 300 packages off my car. That's sad. [/QUOTE]
