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

[Operational needs]

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.

Lots of cardboard to feed the fire.

Bet that house has smoke inhalation

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

This is a serious question.... should the trucks be loaded so there is always a walkway all of the way thru the truck?

It says he escaped through the front of the truck. I'm assuming because an exit to the back was blocked. What if the explosion had prevented him from leaving out the front?

No
Dead

Mine are too good to limit. They need to go viral, public domain.

Bitter old coot.

UPS always blaming workers could be a way of lowering workers self esteem so they have no expectations.

They can't get preloaders to use more than half the shelf, let alone stack anything on top.
Combine with 300+ piece routes and a clear isileway is a rarity at the start.

Not supposed to park in driveways!

Dead end street, back only when necessary, it was.

Well, at least the truck now has cutouts on the sides to throw some windows in and it can become a training rig....

The driver in the video looked pretty stressed walking around in circles and whatnot... probably stressing that he would be overallowed the next day.... I would have been over there trying to fan the flames... burn that bitch down to ashes...

Police Investigate UPS Truck Explosion and Fire

Thankfully our driver is okay.

Clearly the cause was him backing into that driveway. Completely avoidable incident, discharged for cause.

Workhorse P7. Good riddance.

“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.

@Jackburton, state police fire marshal just confirmed it was a faulty lithium battery.

Worst freaking truck in the fleet

 

[OrionsBitch]

UPS mechanics just got done reviewing the DVIR......"Good to ride."

Worst freaking truck in the fleet

Worst suspension. The power steering is sweet and they can turn on a dime. But yeah everything else is junk. Also too wide.
