Big, Bigger, Biggest
Metro’s fleet is getting larger every day. Not only in terms of more vehicles, but more importantly, in terms of the size of our vehicles. Due to inevitable changes in the nature of the courier business our freight has been getting larger and larger over the years. In the past few months we have been catching up with that demand by finding a whole bunch of box trucks and even this bad boy.
Look at that muscle!
The new trucks are fully equipped to take whatever a client can throw at them and we’re still bringing in new drivers to handle them. We currently have 8 big trucks and still more on the way so if you or anyone you know needs a whole lot of stuff moved around, you know who to call!!
The Continuing Adventures of the Metro Delivery Animal Brigade!
This morning our intrepid Fleet Manager John Arms found this happy guy in Western Ann Arbor on his way into work!
Isn’t he cute?
After a flurry of Facebook posts and tweets, this Social Media Dude took him down to the WestArbor Animal Hospital and had him scanned for a chip. After quite a while on the phone we found out his name is Lucky and that he apparently passed away in 2011… Anyway, the phone number on file was still good and his owner showed up to take him home from there!
Thanks to John, the staff at WestArbor and everyone else who helped get this adorable guy back with his family!
Well, at least we know all of the alert systems work
It’s official, everyone who gets security alerts from the University of Michigan now knows what a gunman on campus alert looks like! Happily in this case it was just some ROTC students hauling around non-military equipment….
We also know what it looks like when severe weather is rolling in the next day, unless it gets cancelled out by the remnants of a hurricane and turned into ridiculous amounts of rain.
Wet Wet Wet
Oh well,the suspense was fun and the easy resolution makes it that much easier to laugh about later!
