New UPS Delivery Method

[markseven]

First time I am seeing this - UPS dropped off a container, like a Pod, in my neighborhood and is using these carts to distribute.

It makes sense for lots of stops in a short distance.

I dig it. I'd drive the crap out of one of those. Doesn't help that that guy looks like he belongs ;)

Drives that thing in the ghetto and the guy can easily get jacked... Let me rephrase that. WILL get jacked.

HOA's complaining about noise and diesel smell? Not a bad idea but double loading...

I seriously doubt they'll be using these in the ghetto.

Possibly, though where I've seen them is in (semi-) private communities/neighborhoods on the Florida Gulf Coast.

I bet part of the reason is the issue they all ran into last year where they just didn't have enough trucks to make all the deliveries. they were literally renting Uhaul vans & trailers.

Those UPS socks though........

Minus the $18M salary.

Weather or geography?

Yeah, seems like they could easily put a cage over the bed.

No HOA, not a private community (we are pretty close to the king of all HOAs and tyrannical community planners, Irvine, CA).

I think it's purely volume and frequency of online orders in my community?

Yep. UPS and USPS does Sunday deliveries here using rented vans. Mostly amazon.com packages, it seems.

Homeboy is on-brand for sure.

Wonder if they'll let pregnant women drive them

UPS probably would. The doctors probably won't.

[BLACKCHARM88]

That whole ordeal like everything in the news today is stupid, we let pregnant women in the military work, just not in the field or overseas

That's pretty awesome, eventually BUY - N - LARGE, I mean Amazon may have floating rail systems above our residences that simply parachute drops our items to us. Drones are so last year.

They started even earlier here this year with this plan. Last year I didn't see as many.

Uhuals, Budget Trucks, Random White trucks. If it has a rollup door, it's being used by UPS and Fedex since early last month it seems.

USPS should consider doing that. Do you think amazon will ever follow through with that drone idea even though it got shot down by the FAA?
