New Package cars

[CPUpers]

So we got these new package cars in our building that are missing the two springs that go up the rear of the car from the bumper. (Must be a cost saver for UPS.) My only concern would be backing into a dock that has a deep slope. Would you smash the rear of the truck or would your bumper stop you? Anyone see these package cars, and have you have any experience with them?

Smash a dock and get back to us.

@UpstateNYUPSer posted this picture a while back. These new trucks have shocks in lieu of the leaf spring things.

We just had 2 of these show up and i was confused as well. Sup pointed out the shock absorber bumper. I'd still rather have the handrail for easier entering/exiting and better contact at docks.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

There are handrails on the inside of the cargo area.

New package cars are a myth.

You should see some of the corpses they rounded up for peak. I'll take a rental 10/10 times.
