[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 363295, member: 9789"] I was in LA during the time of the riots. IF my memory serves me right, the truck driver was stopped at a light and was then surrounded by rioters. If it were me, I would have put my foot on the gas and kept going until there was nobody hanging on the truck! No gun necessary!!! Hypothetically, if it had been a UPS vehicle - I doubt anything like that would have ensued. Some how we are associated with the government and we provide a needed service to the community and we are accepted for that. Back in '73, I delivered to Jordan High School as it was getting out. This school is located right in the heart of Watts on 103rd Street LA. I was not fearful (because I was naive or stupid, either one works!) Anyway my point is you shouldn't feel that you need additional security or a gun to be a UPS delivery driver. The [COLOR="Red"]key to your safety[/COLOR] is to [B]always be aware of your surroundings [/B] I do understand that in rare circumstances you may feel you like you are in harm's way. If you ever feel that your safety is in jeopardy don't risk your safety. due to the nature of the business, some areas may have a higher risk with more valuable deliveries. UPS Security should evaluate those areas and determine the risk assessment and the delivery process such as additional security guards or will call, etc. [/QUOTE]
