It’s normally 80,000. Last time I ordered a car I was in the 70,000’s. By the time it takes them to build it I was over 80,000.
az & fleet in the final stages of on-board tracking negotiations before ordering. thanks to all those who posted garbage in the all day lie thread. you'll be watched and gone if you practice. no questions asked. at will firings commencing soon!
Has anyone heard anything about a car order for 2020.
I’m over 80,000 and heard nothing.

Was is the access in your territory? Less than 50%, reps will no longer receive car benefit. You will be required to take an Uber or scooter to your few docs prior to being laid off in December!
Thanks for that. 
I don’t fall in that category since access is good in my territory.
I don’t fall in that category since access is good in my territory.We aren’t stupid, and we aren’t confusing a RAV4 with a Highlander. Other companies give Highlanders and Vans. This company is cheap, and gives the cheapest SUV they can get, the RAV4. However, hands down ANY SUV is better than a sedan any day of the week. I hate sedans, no matter how large they are. You have to fall down into them and get up and down all day. An SUV is the perfect height for getting in and out all day for a sales person. Plus, NOTHING fits in a sedan. It is nice to have the SUV for the fold down seats for when you need to put something larger in your car. AZ gave me the freaking Subaru sedan. I had to go buy and SUV, just to do life.
You are just jealous that you don’t have the car allowance. I worked at AZ oncology and quit due to the cars being ridiculous and no SUV’s with the leather/backup cameras, etc.My new oncology company as others I have had in the past gives 800-1300 a month for car allowance, plus a gas card. I had a bmw x5 for 2019-2020. I bought an Audi Q5 at the end of 2020. I am about to sell it and get a Range Rover, Jaguar F-pace or a Kia Telluride, which are all nicer in my opinion (not an Audi fan, although I have had zero issues…which I shouldn’t have any with only 22,000 miles on it). The point is: we get to pick what we want and we are all happier. Plus, is saves the company money to give the allowance vs. a fleet vehicle. We have to pay for our own insurance and maintenance, but my new company pays for up to 100 dollars in oil changes every 5,000 miles. I always buy German made cars, so I lose on that reimbursement, since oil changes cost about 150, but I only have to get an oil change every 10,000-14,000 miles. My boss drives a Mercedes, and my teammates drive, loaded trucks, Range Rovers, Cadillac Escallon and Yukon Denali’s. Get out of big Pharma and you too can have a nice car and all gas paid for.
Unfortunately, your post is spot on. Customer access continues to decline monthly.
Interesting. I was contacted back in March about being part of the spring vehicle replacement. I guess because I’m in CA im part of the electric car initiative. All my other coworkers that drive too many miles we’re not eligible and ordered in March. It’s now past middle of August and me and the others who were part of the electric car initiative have heard nothing.
All of us have reached out to fleet and they said they hope to hear something soon. That was months ago now they don’t even respond.
I’m fine with my current car given it’s in good shape but it’s just hit the 100,000 mile mark. Never had a car this long before.

well said and I couldn’t agree more!! I love my job here and am grateful to now have an suv, but as someone who works in an enormous territory (average daily commute is >5hours), there is definitely room for AZ to step it up in terms of fleet choices.
Isn't it ironic that the major pharmaceutical companies want you to sell products and charge premium prices for drugs of dubious improved quality (say, taking 3 tired old generic products, putting them in one inhaler, and charging $500 for it) and then turn around and want you to have the cheapest possible stuff they can give you (software, hardware, cars). Their attitude is it is good enough to get the job done. So are generic budesonide, formotorol, and glycopyrrolate. If sales used corporate's line of thinking...................................................
Funny that our “new” counterparts on the Alexion side are driving around in Range Rovers and have car allowances in the $1000’s yet “we” drive the biggest crap boxes in pharma. Change the rules for all of us!
I ordered last year. Selector was sent mid to late August. Car delivered in December. Now, I will say this. We had a new person hired in our district, and they gave her a new car that had been ordered by a rep who was then fired during the December Massacre. According to DM, there were several such cars in storage. Don't know how many, but I have a feeling that a few people will be assigned whatever cars are left, and some will get to order what they want.
Quityer bitchin'. The cars we provide are safe and fuel efficient. They are roomy enough for you to carry multiple trays of food for your daily feeding of the office cows. They are good enough to practice the all day lie with.
