[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1058435, member: 12570"] I know you are joking but back when I had a manual transmission pkg car I had a battery die. The center manager and mechanic came out. The mechanic positioned his pickup truck behind the pkg car, pushed it and the center manager, who was driving, let go of the clutch and the pkg car started. I was told to leave it running the rest of the day. Sober, a couple of months ago I was having issues with the keyless starter. I called the mechanic who asked me to try it while he was on the phone. I tried twice--did not start--tried a third time and it started. He gave me the lockbox key code, told me to use the key and to leave the pkg car running the rest of the day. You can call me [B]stupid[/B] all you want--I will consider the source and move on--but I was working as directed. I only lost 5 minutes of time rather than the hour or more that it would have taken to swap out pkg cars. You guys seem to forget that I deliver in the Bubble of Goodness where it is OK to leave unattended package cars running. [/QUOTE]
