How many have noticed this......

[moldsporh]

The Amazon delivery vehicles, mainly the P800-P1000 size, are EXACTLY like ours, I mean to the outside vents and grab rails, latches, shelves, dashboard, backup camera and monitor etc.. I thought UPS had their own design specific to UPS.

I have one dock stop on my route and there was one there the same time I was, I literally asked him could I peek inside and you wouldn't know the difference.

I know this sounds crazy and unnecessary worry, but there's been too much weird s#$@ going on.

I don't think anything will happen, just seems odd they have vehicles that resemble ours in every way.

The boxes resemble our boxes to right @IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U

They buy trucks from the same place ups does

Not really a secret

Yellow fluid filled bottles left in back too by drivers that need a punch in the face?

 

[moldsporh]

I get that, and I would think they would resemble ours somewhat, but it's the smaller nuances. You're probably right, but wanted to point this out

Amazon has copied what works.

I guess for the ones that have been here since paper, know what I mean. UPS has always had their own design, form and function. When a truck was going to the scrapyard, it had to be witnessed so mainly nobody could use our vehicles, likely from a security standpoint.

Don’t they have AC?

I think they may have had some type of exclusivity on the old fiber glass bubble noses

FedEx copies everything we do, why should Amazon be different?

And that's why we can't get any new ones in

Yeah that's the only UPS truck I know of that was strictly UPS.

I also think they have a patent on the paint. Pullman Brown

It's just the same manufacturer. No big mystery there. Fedex has similar trucks as well. Freightliner, Ford, International aren't exclusive to UPS, nor the other companies that actually makes the truck off the chassis received.

My hypothesis on this is that when UPS wanted to replace PC's they went to the manufacturers looking for something suitable but not necessarily "custom" and went with it. That being said, that it's a manufacturer's design means they make a bunch of them and then just paint them for whoever the buyer is.

Hostile takeover?

That is because no other deliver company was mean enough to subject their employees to those high stepping no power steering POS trucks. Nobody but UPS was foolish enough to buy them.

They had power steering...
The company thought they could save some money by taking it out..

 

[Red Devil]

I’ve looked inside one...it’s very similar but not 100% the same

UPS has not been design specific for at least 15 years. It is cheaper to buy what anyone makes and let anyone else buy them.
