[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 729901, member: 13921"] A while back, a district safety committee put together some data that showed the 2 most expensive injuries to UPS employees are drivers hurting the shoulders with knees in a close 2nd. Shoulders are particularly bad because the surgical fixes do not always work and many of the fixes are temporary. Plus, shoulder surgery can take 3-6 months to recover. We are not talking chump change, these are $25,000 to $30,000 injuries. How many of those $25,000-$30,000 injuries are because of the trucks we drive??? to answer the OPs question.... We have 50ish trucks at my center and most of them are manual steering/high step. That number goes up weekly, as our Ford p1000 are being crushed. We have 4 left and were told that all four would be crushed before the end of June. All are being replaced with GM POS p1000s. We have had to cut routes out because we ran out of trucks. [/QUOTE]
