[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 75886, member: 2196"] Matt, I try not to personally attack anyone on this board but your comment about the P-500's almost got me to that point. Even Tie and I keep it clean with each other. The P 500 involved in the first rollover had been written up 4 days in a row by 4 different drivers that refused to drive it another day. UPS did not fix it, they kept giving it to another driver. UPS hustled after the first accident and changed ALL of the P-5 tires back to new rubber. All of the P-5's were done in one night. They AGAIN have mixed tires on them. We all know that retreads are cheaper than new tires and look where we are back to. I have personally had the second P-5 involved suddenly go off the road about 10 feet for no reason. This not only happened to me but to the onboard supervisor that was driving later in the day. I have to ask, have you ever driven one of the vehicles? I have had one loose a front tire, brake and rotor at 55 MPH and I have had one suddenly lock into a rear wheel skid when the gears in the rear end fell apart. God himself keep both of those vehicles from flipping- even the accident reviews said that I should have gone over both times and I was cleared in both cases. I think you can see why I believe them to be dangerous. My speed was NOT a factor in either case. Please review your accident statistics before claiming driver error. [/QUOTE]
