a friend of mine works for a local ford dealer. he just bought a new f150 back in febuary. well the truck went in 2 weeks ago for warentey work and he got a loner then his van went in on tuesday. yesterday a salesman backed an explorer into a light pole and today pulled out in front of a semi and got wacked in the process it pushed the vehicle into a roush mustang totaling both cars. they had a meting this afternoon and were told that no employees are aloud to drive company vehicles . now since the truck AND his van are at the dealer the loner is the only thing he had to drive and he lost it today. so he is driving my ranger until he can get one of his vehicles back . to me i think that is a crock of bs.

ugh, I can't see that lasting very long, I mean, considering dealers sell cars and all.

Sounds like they need to punish the problem child and not the rest. You know how it goes though......one screws up they all screw up.

So the company employees aren't allowed to drive the company vehicles...

Sounds right. Taxi services, ambulance services, funeral homes, the postal service--these are all companies that should also adopt that policy.

How are they going to move them around the lot? This policy will last a day or two. If I sell cars there I'm saying "Hey boss, can you open the door so Mr. Jones can drive his new ride out of the showroom since I can't move it?"
Reminds me of the company that bought all the sales reps laptop computers and then bolted them to their desks so they wouldn't get stolen.
Some people are too stupid to be in management. That's why they keep getting promoted.

I wish I worked there and a transporter showed up. Driver unloads cars and I'm hanging out watching.
Dozen new cars with road grit, markings, and plastic all over them.
"Who's gonna move these cars to prep?"
"Beats me, I'm not allowed to drive them."

A company vehicle is usually a vehicle that is owned by the business and used for the business, tow truck, service truck or parts runner. I wouldn't think the cars for sale would fall under that category.

Now THERE is a quote for the sig.... it's just sad that it often seems so true...

Is there perhaps a t-shirt and bumper sticker in the future with that quote emblazoned on it for all time?:icon_rofl:

At the dealer I used to work at, new cars, used cars, demos, and the parts truck all had dealer plates because it keeps a letter off the title. I assume they're all under the same insurance policy.

What. So next time you get hurt and break you back when you fall, don't call a ambulance and drive you self to the hospital.

that would be a no. the answer is not to be in any position where you could fall... walking, rolling over in bed, getting in and out of a chair, etc. you know, all those high risk activities.
