[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 5592160, member: 79761"] RIP to the young passenger that passed It's strange, though.... I was pulled into an office about two weeks ago over my backing and I expressed that I didn't want to block roadways that didn't have shoulders (backroads through the woods) so the safest thing in my mind was to pull into the driveway, but if I don't KNOW that driveway and can't guarantee a turnaround, I'm going to avoid backing OUT of the driveway blindly onto a backroad that moves at 45mph minimum by swinging wide when traffic clears and backing INTO the driveway to make the delivery (that was a hell of a sentence, I hope y'all can make sense out of it.) I was instructed to pop the hazards and block the road. Then yesterday I see this video and I thank God that it hasn't happened to me following management's :censored: instruction, which I don't think I'll ever follow again because the video I saw was proof positive that management doesn't give a damn about actual safety. (Granted, I don't know if the driver involved has received the same type of coaching I have but I can only assume that he has.) Third world? So, like... Is it more of a Detroit third world, or is it more like Bolivia and Cambodia? I can't even lie, I never imagined UPS to be on the ground in any third world countries but it kind of makes sense.
