[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 582648, member: 4653"] What did they get a kick out of? Your question or UPS still using vehicles older than their first born, lol? World class company? Third world equipment. Seriously, lets think about this. UPS is concerned about its image, yet they allow our customers to witness its drivers in trucks manufactured during the Reagan administration and some rare cases the Carter administration. Our customers witness us "pushing and pulling" the steering wheel to back the truck on the dock. What takes the Fed-ex guy 30 seconds requires the UPS driver more tham twice that get on. In cul-se-sacs (children, toys, bikes, pets, etc.), the Fed-Ex driver can just turn his truck effortlessly without backing. UPS needs to make a 3 point turn and back at least once. We're talking about large circles here, Smaller dead-eand streets require a 4-8 "point turn" for the lucky UPS driver. It comes down to a couple of things. Safety and image. If Fed-Ex can afford a 100% power-steering fleet, why can't UPS? On the safety front, no power-steering leads to more backing. I liken the image concept to two landcapers in one small neighborhood. One landscaper has equipment like most of the others. New truck with a new paint job. New equipment and a proffesional name on all of the vehicles. The other landscaper is trying to run his business with his 1992 Chevy pick-up and beat-up trailer. Instead of his company name and number painted on his truck, he makes his own sign and puts it on his roof while he does a job. Which one would you hire? Seriously, its 2009 and we are driving vehicles with no power-steering??? Good God. Only at UPS. Only at UPS and nowhere else in America:sick:. [/QUOTE]
