Helpful Fleet Tip #1

Be Honest About Accidents.

Banana Test

Today's post is not even closely related to fleet in any way shape or form. Its a personality test. Lets see if you can reveal anything new about yourself today. Here is goes.........

*********************

There is a very, very tall coconut tree and there are 4 animals, a Lion,
a Chimpanzee, a Giraffe, and a Squirrel, who pass by.

They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the
tree.

Who do you guess will win? Your answer will reflect your personality.

So think carefully . . . Try and answer within 30 seconds.

Got your answer?

If your answer is:

↓

↓

Lion = you're dull.

Chimpanzee = you're a dummy.

Giraffe = you're completely out in loony land .

Squirrel = you're just hopelessly out of touch.

A COCONUT TREE DOESN'T HAVE BANANAS!!!!!!!!

SUV Hybrids

Vehicle companies have brainstormed ideas on how to make them better for the environment and easier on the consumer wallet with the ever rising fuel costs.

Check out the following article, Big SUV's Drink Less, on how GMC has created an innovative hybrid system in their full-size pickups and SUV vehicles.

Let me know what you think! Will this new technology work? Should they be used on other hybrid vehicles, like sedans and mini-vans? Will this help the consumer with the cost of gas now rather then wait several years to pay for itself in savings?

The Big Apple

College Employees hit the town on Sat 5/17/2008 to check out Manhattan. It was a glorious day, the sun was shinning, a slight breeze in the sky which helped carry the smells of the city to heighten your senses to remind you that you are in NYC baby!

Here are a few photo's from the wondful trip-

The first pic is the view on the bus as we drive closer to downtown Manhattan. The second pic is from our travels in the city, driving to our drop off destination.

Times Square

A beautiful view of the Rockefeller Fountain and a close up view of the gigantic Macy's Department (the original and largest with 8 floors) store sign which is located in Harold's Square.

Stuck in Traffic on our way out of the city.

For those Yankee Fans, the old stadium with the new one right next door.

Goodbye Seniors! Good luck after MHC!

Thanks Jeanne, the wonderful crew coach!

How do I get there?

If you are headed off somewhere & don't know how to get there, we recommend using Google Maps. There are many websites out there, but we have found personally in the Fleet Office that Google Maps gives better directions then Mapquest.

Our bus drivers who do not have their own GPS unit request maps off of Google rather then Mapquest. Also on Google, you may print a overhead map so you can see the area as well as your directions.

If you have any sites you recommend to get you to your final destination, lets hear it! Either email me or add it in the comment section! Thanks!

Everyone has a preference, but hey we just want to help you get to where you are headed!
