Hoopah drives the boat Chief !!
i am doubles qualified, i'll take that with two horse trailers
Would you drive this????
- Thread starter MR_Vengeance
- Start date
Is this for Sup/helpers ? I don't see the point of buying a fleet of this scooter crap to deliver pkgs. I like the stop counts though, looks like a bonus route.
I am guessing it is for gated communities/mobile home parks

That's exactly what I was thinking! But, yeah, I would totally drive one of those. Probably be a lot of fun and quite the conversation piece. Highly doubt I could fit in there though as I am 6'4", but it would certainly be better than the P5 I have with no power steering.
And I could only how well those three-wheelers would perform in the snow.
Maybe if they put training wheels on the front wheel that wouldn't happen! Of course the driver would be charged with an "unavoidable".
For some reason I remember someone was sayingthey delivered to a storage shed/trailer what ever you want to call it and then a seperate UPSer would deliver from there using a golf cart... I was chatting with someone at a union meeting last year and heard this.

They had driver helpers use golf carts before in our district. They delivered apartment complexes and such. They had to stop using them after a few of the cities decided that they are not safe for use on the road.

These things tip so easily. While I was in the military and deployed to Saudi Arabia, we had lots of fun with similar vehicles, trying to see how far we could go riding on only the front tires. All it took was a little tap on the brakes to get the back two tires up, and then you could finesse the brakes to keep the truck (if that's what you wan't to call this thing) box up in the air. Somehow, I don't know how we didn't do a cartwheel with these things.

i'll bet the "delivery person" was delivering to apartment complexes. my center was considering renting go-carts or golf carts for peak season the season before last. it was before i had become a cover driver, but after i had become an air driver.
the idea was that the regular driver would drop his/her helper off at an apt complex and have the helper deliver apt packages while the driver went on over to resi/business stops that were nearby. driver would give helper 30 minutes to an hour and then come back and pick-up the helper. obviously if there were more than one apt complex on that drivers route, they would do it over and over again.
our center never actually did that though because our division manager didn't want to pay the rental fees on the carts.
i told my supervisor that if they were going to have me delivering ground AND driving around that they had better pay me top rate (i double shifted at the time. preload and then driver helper.) theres no way i would do that crap for peak season loader pay.

Just wondering how do we secure the packages in a golf cart/go cart?
