Worst thing that happened to me was hitting a dear with a TP60 attached. Hit the deer going 68 on I81. Deer slide out in front of truck and i ran it over again, then the tp60 hit it an thats where the trucks got all squirly. It took everything in my power to not crash it into the center divide. Of course I was charged with an accident....or a deer runs in front of your package car while you are going 60 mph....
How long ago was that. The company has changed their view on this.Worst thing that happened to me was hitting a dear with a TP60 attached. Hit the deer going 68 on I81.

Happened to me on Thanksgiving Day, a few yrs back. We were actually talking about getting the windshield replaced coz it had a chip. It was a nasty day out, and going down the freeway there was lots of ice coming off trucks. So we backed off. Suddenly this piece of ice, came flying and it was a rock, kicked out of a pothole I would guess. Right into the passenger side of the windshield, and it held it like a basketball net. First it hit the front and slid onto the hood, slowed it down some. 5000 dollars damage.That happened to me once. A chunk of ice came off the top of a trailer heading in opposite direction and it knocked out my windshield. Scared the crap out of me.
Feeder manager tried that at my building once. Ripped all the plumbing out.All ups needs is a big drive thru car / truck wash at each building problem solved

We got one of those, but they turn the water off if it gets too cold, or the pipes freeze.All ups needs is a big drive thru car / truck wash at each building problem solved

Give me a break. My package car sits outside and will have a sheet of ice on the windshield with no ice scraper available. Me and about 15 other drivers are going to sit around today while the defroster warms up to melt that ice off before we go anywhere. Usually takes about a half hour. Been doing this for years. UPS really needs to get it together.
Our safety comm. handed out ice scrapers this year. Just sayinGive me a break. My package car sits outside and will have a sheet of ice on the windshield with no ice scraper available.

It's like UPS they enforce it when need be. If ice flies off your car causing an accident guess who is at fault now?In NJ you're supposed to clear snow off any vehicle, the highway signs even say something about it. Yet I see so many cars with the windshield clear, MAYBE the back window and holes out side windows going down the road. It doesn't seem to get enforced either.
We have the snowbrooms to clear the trailers in the yard, they can't remove ice that's gets frozen to the roof from melting in the day. This happens especially if the trailer get put on a door, loaded then put out in the yard in the evening.
