the P500 has been reborn

[Pip]

Just as the last of the old P500's are seeing there last days of work. I am sure a lot of guys have been down in the dumps fretting they will not be able to hop in the old p500 and go for a drive for old time sake.

There is a new version of the P500 coming soon. The first order of 500 trucks will be in service soon if not already. With a new aerodynamic hood and the modern technology, drivers of old will be able to relive there early days in those P500's once again.

More details to follow as they come in.

I'm anxiously awaiting, thats for sure! All our new cars have been P7s and P12s the last few years. We are down to one P32 and six P5s, plus one new Morgan-Olson "Work Horse". Are these new P5s the same as a "Work Horse"?

Went out in a new P5 back in November. Nice power steering, automatic... fast too.

Here is a picture of our one Morgan-Olson Work Horse from my Profile Page Photo Album. I am wondering if this is what Pip is talking about. I wish I had a picture of a P600. I used to drive those things. Last time I saw one, it was in Honolulu about five years ago.

Thanks outta hours,
I'm surprised to see a P600 with the new logo on it, I wonder if any of them are still on the road. I thought these were just as bad as a P8. I will try to add this to my album.

All the Workhorses we have at our center are 12's I'm pretty sure that everything we have that is under a 6 is still the old style package car. We have tons of old 8's too. Most of our new package cars are Freightliner P7 and different kinds of 12's.

Me too! I went to a resort in NH. AND who else is there but an account exec friend! Amazing the UPSers you run into wherever you are!

I'm surprised they would make a usable vehicle so small anymore. Minimum size in our building anymore is P7's. we have some smaller trucks amd vans but they are air run specific

 

[brownrodster]

We've got a bunch of brand new p5's... They are too small. I don't like delivering out of them. Drivers seat is too uncomfortable. You need to be a short male or normal female to fit them properly.

I would love to see one of these trucks! I have heard so much about them from this message board and the drivers in the center that are older than me. I've been working since '99 at UPS but have never seen a P600! Could someone please post a picture?

Thanks so much in advance!

Peace,

We have rural routes where anything larger than a P5 cant turn around in the driveways or get in under the tree branches.

We have a few new 500's, and they are sweet. We need them in our building since our areas are tight and congested. But the package car itself is a pleasure to drive.
