Caught this at my station in the lot as I was heading out on route. Do you reckon they are cooked?

If the driver didn't make it out in time then I'd reckon they're well done

They would be quick to blame the drivers knowing it’s the DSP’s fault for neglecting and maintaining their vehicles

Quite literally possible. What the fuck could cause that? The back door looks blown off and the burns on the side look like they could've come from inside. Did they have unmarked leaking flammable HazMat and light a cig or something?

I think the back door is like that from the FD prying it open to extinguish the flames, I was able to peek in and saw the burnt totes and packages. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was from an engine issue.

Back when I was a driver, we had a Promaster light up just like that. The cause was shorted headlight wiring, those vans have electrical problems like crazy. https://preview.redd.it/5uza9alfg1pg1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c01e2b6572de19b001179ccb11dd...

Former Fleet Tech that fixed Amazon vans. We have seen this so many times, the biggest culprit is DSPs finding a blown fuse somewhere, then replacing it with a larger amperage fuse because “that would obviously fix it” then when the system would pop the fuse again….burns the ...

Assuming this was not caused by an at fault wreck, and the vehicle caught on fire ... doesn't seem like the driver's fault. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if they get fired anyway.

Turns out Amazon has a recall going on for these vans. There’s something with a radiator hose or something to do with the electrical. Basically though the vans are prone to spark into fire the longer they’re used

Cooked? I mean its most likely an electrical fire. If it wasnt i hope whoever was in it wasnt there when it lit on fire. But my guess would be an electrical fire. Or maybe something engine component wise got to hot and lit something like a belt on fire or a hose and up it went.

They'll just put some new wheels and tires on it, make sure it starts and the brakes work, and figure out how to put the Amazon logo over the damage. Give it a week or two and it'll be back on the road. As for the employee... Fire with chance for rehire. 😂🤣
