The driver side steps or should I say lack of, are horribleYeah, the 4-way placement and the e-brake location suck on the new package cars, but how 'bout that v8? Eh? They rip!

One would think the company would get input from the very people that use the equipment daily and find out what works and what doesn't, but no, they are to stupid to see the big picture.Are the control packages specced or does the builder just do whatever, because that is what they do??
Example, the 4 way switch on package cars. My current wagon, it is tucked on top of the steering column. It is very hard to see and harder to reach. Frequently, I push it and it does not turn on or off. Plus, since I am fairly tall, the steering wheel blocks the flashing arrows on the dash. It takes a serious amount of effort to turn them on, as a result, they are either on for hours at a time or off for hours at a time.
All of my personal vehicles have a button on the dash, in clear view. I push it and it flashes so that I know the 4-ways are on. Why can't we have that on package cars??
The parking brake is almost as bad. It is an end-range motion that I set 150+ times a day. For 3 glorious years, I ran a route that had a Ford with the electronic parking brake. It was easy to set and it held.
And as nice as an auto trans is, does it really have to be an end-range motion that is that difficult to complete??
I see in the upcoming contract that feeders can put extensions on their shifters. Is there anything that we can do to make our cars just a little more user friendly??
No reason to tuck your mirror at every stop either.No reason to use the e brake in an automatic.
I've never been told to do that.No reason to tuck your mirror at every stop either.
That is an end range motion that I refuse to do.No reason to tuck your mirror at every stop either.
It’s goung to kill someone someday. My new 800 shift inhibits every time you lose traction. It was happening every other second last winter. Slid right down a hill in neutral.The need to get of rid the shift inhibit, it is killing me
I've never been told to do that.
We just tell the mechanic we broke a mirror and they take care it.They require drivers to pull mirror at every stop at my location. Seems like the building manager and a supervisor go out arpund every other week.

Occasionally you need to.Who goes out the driver's side?
How sure are you about that. You seen what a parking pawl actually looks like? You're confident you'll never accidently snap it off coming to a stop and shifting to park before your completely stopped.No reason to use the e brake in an automatic.
Occasionally you need to.
