[QUOTE="soberups, post: 732879, member: 14668"] I love how they babble on and on about avoiding "end-range motion". The older cars are nothing [I]but [/I]one big "end-range motion" to work out of. You can barely reach the hand rail; you can barely lift your leg high enough to get your foot up onto the bottom step; you can't get in or out of the tiny door with a large package without twisting and bending; and you cant sit in the non-adjustable seat and drive them without bending your knees outward as if you were at the gynecologists office with your feet in the stirrups. UPS's [I]complete and total disregard[/I] for the safety of the driver of one of these POS's is appalling. We spend [I]hundreds of thousands of dollars per year[/I] paying our people to regurgitate acronyms and recite commentaries in order to pass Keter audits and create a phony "culture of safety"...only to turn around and dispatch them in obsolete equipment that is about as "safe" as a medeival torture rack. I wonder if the Automotive and Corporate management who dismiss our complaints about these vehicles....have ever had to run a route out of one themselves for any length of time. I suppose all the package cars look the same from behind a desk. [/QUOTE]
