[QUOTE="Been In Brown Too Long, post: 4707408, member: 32249"] I had one catch fire after driving 10 miles from my center to my very first air stop the week of Christmas. I'm inside the business, an equipment rental place, customer casually says as he's signing for the NDA letter, "Hey, you're truck is on fire." Yep, sure is...lol. I'm certainly not jumping in it to grab the little baby fire extinguisher they provide. Luckily for UPS the customer had a professional fire extinguisher and we limited the fire to the engine compartment. Melted every wire, hose, etc. Turned out to be the easiest peak day I ever had. My P1000 was cubed, not another package would fit. I ended up only delivering about 20 stops that day. They sent every driver in town to take stops off of me, and they didn't get me a package car to deliver out of for almost 8 hours. I just sat there damn near all day distributing packages to other drivers. Later found out there was both a fuel leak and an exhaust leak that ignited the fuel. UPS's policy has always been drive it till you break it. It definitely broke that day. One of many catastrophic breakdowns I've dealt with. Take the free money! [/QUOTE]
