[QUOTE="reydluap, post: 76004, member: 1583"] I'm printing the replies I am getting from all of you on my comment post. I'm going to show them to my co-workers. Our mechanic is one of the best and I told him what I posted here last evening. He told me of a pkg car that was sent to us from another Hub that needed an engine, transmission and the rear brake callibur was hanging down from the axle. He tried to drive it around the building to the mechanics bay and it would just dart around the parking lot. It was red tagged for a couple of weeks until he brought it back to life. UPS should have put a fork in it - IT WAS DONE. I guess my problem is, UPS TALKS BIG about safety. But our equipment lacks neccessities to do our jobs safely. Narrow doorways, high steps,tall tires, and shelving in the back thats narrow and made for the Jolly Green Giant to work off of to name a few issues. My last injury was caused by a package falling off the top shelf in an old P1000 and hitting me in the eye. Sup. told me to keep my eyes ahead of my work ---- I couldn't even SEE the package over the front lip. The shelf was 4 inches over the top of my head. Of coarse, outdated equipment was not to blame at all. Work safe......... [/QUOTE]
