I Keep Telling People That Package Cars Are Too Hot To Work In

Police Investigate UPS Truck Explosion and Fire

Thankfully our driver is okay.

Must not have been any weed on that one.
If there was, a crowd would have been nearby enjoying the aroma!
Of course, when it gets back to the hub
"Ok to drive, parts on order"

Good, old UPS did it again.

The story is missing from the tv station's website.

(Reload Scratch's link and see.)

Of course when the driver gets back to the hub, management will be all over him.
"You had missed pickups, late business, you had too many missed deliveries, what is your excuse for failing to do the job?"
"My truck caught on fire!"
"There you go again, with your weak excuses!" "You destroyed company property as well!" "Do you realize how many claims you are costing the company, and how many customers we may lose due to your failure to do your job?"

Glad the driver got out ... looks like it was close!

We had a brand new truck burn down to the chassis years ago. Driver left the building, and drove for about 30 minutes to his first NDA stop. Walking back to the truck he saw lots of smoke, and just after an opening burned through the roof creating a nice updraft, the truck was fully involved.

That's the way I delivered--------back right up to the door. Screw that lugging stuff up the driveway.

But that wasn't as good as the one that had the entire roof blow off just like a sardine can. Driver called the on-road and said "You're not gonna believe this."

He didn't, until he saw it.

Not supposed to park in driveways!

 

[jaker]

Not supposed to park in driveways!

And that is how ups will blame the driver, it is always our fault

Not supposed to park in driveways!

And block traffic? Look at the width of the street

 

[TheMachine]

So it was a package that was the cause?

 

[Staydryitsraining]

And block traffic? Look at the width of the street

They dont care, their answer is side park into drive way pull in mirror.

Not supposed to park in driveways!

Very true, I am sure that is what management will say cause the fire.

“Driver heard a hissing and then explosion”

Anyone wanna take a wager on it being a lithium battery that exploded? There’s reasons why the airlines lately have been restricting them in cargo holds and bans on laptops.

For your viewing pleasure.

And another incident that could have gone horribly bad

Apparently it happens once every ten days.
What's Behind the Increase in Lithium-Ion Battery Fires on Planes?

Many days I hoped for this especially at the start of the day

 

[TearsInRain]

fire him for parking in the driveway

next day when he doesn’t, fire him for not following ORION trace 100%

The quick thinking driver got his Ryobi radio out, close call !! LOL
Glad he wasn't hurt. How fast that happened is the scariest part.
