[QUOTE="soberups, post: 328731, member: 14668"] I read a statistic once that said most drivers will require surgery at some point in their career. UPS made a business decision for many years to intentionally delete ANY equipment from its package cars that might reduce wear and tear on the drivers body. Power steering? Remove it. Full-length seat with lumbar support? Delete it. Adequate leg room for proper posture while driving? Not necessary. Lower step height? Not worth spending the money. It is only since about 1996 that the package cars we drive have been designed with any concern whatsoever for ergonomics...prior to that, the equipment was designed to ultimately force its user into early retirement so that he might be replaced with a younger, cheaper employee.
