Vans

Post by Cherry24 »

Our vans are falling apart, spontaneously stopping mid drive, and not being maintained. It's to the point it's very dangerous. We are told to use vans with faulty gears and handbrakes, sometimes, not informed of known issues and told to get on with jt.

Is this a national issue, or just us?

If we all ticked all the van issues on the PDA van check everyday, like we’re supposed to, the vans would become a manager’s responsibility to pass as safe to be driven, instead of ours.

It’s the same at our office. The vans have been trashed by the DOR route drivers. They are an embarrassment to drive.
