Prime van looks like their parcels

That is impressive damage, what would cause that? Driving into a height restriction?
See this regularly, even saw a "22" plate one last week with a huge dent in the front of the roof. I'd going with them driving under coach houses and the like in modern estates. The sort of ones where no half brained human would dream of trying to take a van under especially as they normally only lead to a car park. I've seen numerous houses like this with render/brick damage where someone hit itEdited by DavePanda on Tuesday 29th March 22:16

Well I guess it is only a struggle to clear it the first time...
I spoke to a Amazon driver yesterday because he had turned left out of a road and parked up and then walked back down the road past the turning quite far to deliver a package.
I thought it was odd thing to do. He said they’ve been told to minimise reversing as there has been too many accidents reported because of reversing and hitting cars, and the system monitors everything he does.
Also they have a score system they start with 950 and there is a system on board that monitors their driving. If it goes below 333 they’re supposed to have a trainer go out with them to help them get their score back up.
They also route the vans to go around and around at delivering parcels to the same road at different times of the day in same areas to give the public they do multiple runs all day when it’s actually the same driver.
He pointed out he’s got a parcel to deliver to the house next to where he parked but he won’t do it because it was 4 bags ahead and it would take him longer to find the parcel than to just do the run as planned.

There's a distribution centre near where I work, and at around 10am each morning an impressive fleet of 20-30 vans exit nose to tail, looking like a Presidential cavalcade. However, without exception every single van - the oldest is usually something like a 20-plate - has a scrape or dent or piece of trim broken off. Do they banger race them round the car park when they've finished their deliveries?

I had some items arriving the other week, one of which had a security code to give the driver. So he turned up at the door and I said “I think you need this code” - “hang on” - he checked his device and then got the other parcel from the van, so clearly they were originally going to do two drops.

One of the local office building car parks is currently used by Amazon to park / load their vans. It has a bright yellow 2m height restriction bar to stop the caravans from getting in and has to be unlocked and moved for the high roofed vans. After 3 months around half the vans have a big yellow dent in the roof where they have forgotten to move the barrier and crashed into it.
Still better than Hermes who couldn't deliver my package at 3pm on Saturday as I wasn't in, correct I wasn't in I was on the drive washing the car in front of the house and didn't see a Hermes van....... Lol
