[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1117246, member: 14668"] They are garbage, its a constant hassle with envelopes and small packages getting wedged in and stuck in them. The cars they come on are also crap. We call them "skinnys", they are supposedly P-700's but they are about 12" narrower than a conventional P-700, and 2 or 3 feet [I]longer[/I]. They have the turning radius of a freaking school bus.They do [I]not[/I] have duallies in back; with only the single rear wheels they are at serious risk of getting stuck on wet pavement or grass and are therefore worthless on a rural route or in hilly country where snow is an issue. The other drawback to the single rear wheel is that the wheel well in the package compartment is only about a foot wide, so any package you try to set on it simply slides off onto the middle of the floor where you spend all day tripping over it. They also have a very mushy, wallowing suspension. Pure junk, whoever designed these damn things obviously never ran a route or delivered a package in their life. [/QUOTE]
