[QUOTE="soberups, post: 430655, member: 14668"] I'm a big fan of saving fuel and protecting the enviornment, but I hope that in their quest to reduce idle time, the bean-counters are aware of the issues faced by those of us in northern climates. Unlike most of the drivers in my building, my package car is parked outside on an MDU. Part of my AM routine this time of year is to have to scrape condensation and/or ice off of the outside [U]and[/U] inside of my windshield. I frequently have to sit and idle for at least 10 minutes before the defroster will even begin to function. Until it does, I might as well be sitting blind inside of an ice cube. I periodically get harassed because my AM time is so much longer than that of the drivers who are parked indoors. It gets old. UPS made a business decision to force 200+ routes into a facility that was designed to park 124. They have saved millions by postponing the construction of a new building, so they should quit bitching about a few extra minutes of AM and idle time on my part. I have informed our "safety committee" that we need some squeegees and ice scrapers with long handles so that we can reach up far enough to clean the windshields in the AM. None have been provided, but the other day someone did affix a sticker to my steering wheel with a brand new acronym on it. [/QUOTE]
