[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1024404, member: 14668"] Your health and safety were never a factor in the decision-making when these vehicles were ordered. The idea was that, by intentionally making the vehicles harder and more dangerous to drive, older (less productive) drivers would be forced to retire sooner when they could no longer spend 11 hours a day fighting the equipment. Their spot on the payroll would then be taken up by a newer employee, still in progression, with fewer vacation weeks for the company to pay for. I can almost gurantee that some [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] bean-counter in a little cubicle someplace had it all figured out on a spreadsheet. It wasnt like he or anyone he cared about would ever have to drive the trucks. [/QUOTE]
