UPS has 2 fires in 2 days, you might not get your package

I saw on the news tonight the a UPS truck heading out of Oregon to Utah burned up today. And yesterday they had this one going to Texas from St. Louis.

ouch, someone's not getting their Christmas present this year

A shackle broke?  They must have meant spring or spring hanger.  The only time I had a trailer drop like that was a broken spring and usually it's at the very front or rear of the spring.  Too bad for any kids that were expecting.

Now if that truck was coming from Oregon to DFw I could tell all my kin, even the ones we don't buy for, that their packages were on that trailer.

Thats too bad. If you didnt have insurance on a package you are screwed. If you did have insurance on a package you are still screwed because UPS will drag their feet for months on a claim and then want proof of how much everything cost on the insurance and then in the end you might get something.

To make a long story short anyone with a package on that truck is screwed!

UPS automatically insures all packages to $100...but I agree that they will probably drag their feet to get people their money.

They're screwed.


Ya know...you'd think that some passing motorist would flag down the truck driver before the fire really got out of hand.

The centre I piece for my grille is on it's way here (Canada) from Ano-Brite in Los Angeles via UPS.  I checked this morning and see that it has already crossed the border from Detroit to Windsor!

My Wife thinks we will be sitting around having a cozy family Christmas - ha!  I will slip out and install all of the trim on my grille!

So far UPS hasn't lost a package of mine, FedEx lost TWO in a month!!! One they eventually found, the other one is GONE.  Two Mopar cop wheels, GOA.

I never had a problem using UPS either.  Hey Ian, I got a stray cop wheel I think yet in storage, you want it, it's your's just pay the shipping. Was off a ex-cop '84 Fury.

Whoa, that'd be awesome.  I've having a dickens of a time finding a pair.  Let me know how much to send you and I'll Paypal or snail mail.  My zip code is 33445.

It's yours! I'll have to dig it out this weekend and try to find a box to put it in. That will be my biggest problem I think. How much does one of those wheels weigh anyway?
