who makes ups trucks?
I was waiting for a meeting sitting at a coffee house watching traffic, day dreaming looking at these beautiful women shopping. I see this UPS driver double parks and does his thing in the store. Who the heck make their trucks. I have not seen any other companies or private firms use them. Not Fedex. Maybe I have not pay any attention to vehicles like that. Are they made only for UPS? Assuming they are made in the US?

They are built by men in brown suits in a brown building in Brownsville. For lunch they eat brownies. When they crap it is brown.

It's a fairly standard delivery truck with custom bodywork up front.

Package cars, that's what they called them when I worked there. I assume it's the same. Neat trucks, very well organized inside.

UPS trucks are built in Area 51, fitted with mind control units and send information directly to Black Audi wagons that are running a cloaking device so they can't be seen. The trucks are impervious to all munitions including nuclear blast and any pathogen or viruses. The drivers are super human who are impervious to attack while they keep their Teamsters Union Card with them.
The only thing that will stop one of these units is traffic.

they are exclusive to UPS - no other company is allowed to use them & they are not sold used outside of UPS, so you will never find one on the used market

They look a lot like the blue van that the SWAT dudes used to pile out of in the popular '70s tv show, "S.W.A.T".
