... for your stepvans!
a contractor had purchased a couple of those Ford E350/E450 platform stepvans (what i call P700s)
they are great in comparison to regular cargo vans / rental boxtrucks that i've been using for the past few years
quiet, lots of power/torque for a V8 gas engine, sliding pocket doors, the stepvan body makes my day go easier.
I shaved off 2 hours because i can quickly secure my vehicle with power door locks during a stop.
and my sort/load times are so much faster/easier (scan box, slide it in, put on shelf) vs. scan, make mini-piles according to stop order, then load...
--------------
cons:
still don't really like the rollup backdoor since i rarely have to dock at warehouses (but that's minor since i use the side door most of the time anyways)
the one i'm using needs a blindspot mirror for the front since i can't see the nose of the vehicle
(the bubble fish-eye style that overhangs in front of the passenger side window)
the cons are minor since i can adapt to them, sure beats swinging out the side doors for entries/ exits of the vehicle.
