[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2290623, member: 12508"] The only vehicle uglier than the Reach is the Dodge ProMaster. Perhaps the manufacturers should talk to the actual people who drive these pieces of crap in real life. I always liked the 700/900's when I was a courier. Lots of room, decent power, and designed for the job. I didn't appreciate all the sharp edges and cuts, but these were very good trucks. Sprinters are crap, but I do hear good things about the Nissans, although I've never driven one. Truck breakdowns should always be a Code 24, and on Fred's time, not yours. I once had a 700 break down on a long residential driveway at the bottom of a steep hill. It took the tow truck 2 hours to get there, and another 2 to figure out how he was going to get it up the hill, which was by calling for a second, bigger wrecker. In the middle of this, I get a message from Dispatch to call my manager, which I do. He says I should be on a split at the very least...LOL. I hung up on him, and took a no lunch and got 12 hours.
