[QUOTE="Glorifiedpackmule, post: 986792, member: 8146"] Came back from Vacation a few weeks ago to find that my W700 had been "retired".Im now rolling around in a first generation Sprinter. 526,000 miles young. Has to be the worst laid out delivery vehicle on the face of the planet. No AC, overheats, drinks oil, side sliding door doesnt stay shut. This makes for a long day.Fine for an extended route doing 50 stops a day. It's a complete NIGHTMARE for a city route that does on average 95 miles 130 stops a day. I'm in and out of the truck every 2 to 3 minutes for 8 to 9 hours everyday. I'm fine with driving a smaller vehicle. It does save fuel. I'm not fine staying out an extra hour everyday due soley to the limitations the sprinter. I remember a few years ago when Express was DONE with theses pieces of crap. They are unreliable and impossible to repair. I've been sitting at 94% for the last year. The extra time it takes to work out of this thing has me stuck running at about 85%. Do you think theyre gonna change my goals to reflect the changes they've dropped into my lap? He** no they won't change them. I have no interest in staying an extra hour later to make overtime.. Fedex can save that for the purple coolaid drinkers. I just want to put in an honest days work. I just want a shot to be home with my family for dinner at the end of the day. FedEx has once again takin away one of the only enjoyable parts of my day. I don't ask for much from this company.. Profit-Service-people. [/QUOTE]
