UPS to use plastic body trucks, simultaneously change name to Ugly Parcel Service

[tleach17]

I will say in there defense that UPS is WWWAAAYYYY better than FedEx (at least around here). The FedEx guy leaves our packages at the front desk without ever leaving us a note and sometimes he does not even come to the apartment. He just drops it and runs.

Could be worse.

i'm all for a re-design of those trucks though. Most of those things are ridiculously more truck than necessary. They aren't taking on German tank fire, they're delivering socks to people.

This reminds me of the time a friend of mine that drives truck stopped off at the house. He said he was packed full from front to rear on the trailer and it was the lightest load he has ever hauled. I asked him what he was haulin and he said Victoria Secret bras.

That happens to us all the time too!

I know several guys who drive for FedEx and that's not policy. It's just that particular driver being a POS.

Who cares what their trucks look like......as long as they haul the packages I want delivered, I don't care if it looks like the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile.

This should be the new standard...

I'd pay extra for a delivery in that!

Thats correct, if they need a signature then they leave a door tag. If its not required then they might drop it and move on. Its unbelievable how big their workload is somedays.
