[QUOTE="BigBrownSanta, post: 447834, member: 11097"] Here is my interpretation of the "walk behind the truck" to deliver packages "rule". Mind you, it's just my intepretation and some will still say it's unsafe and others will say it makes sense. Me personally, I will drive around the block. As with anything else UPS does, they tell you to do something without giving any clear explanation. If you picture it in your head and work it out logically, it does make sense. When you exit the truck and walk to the back of the truck, [b]do not step off the curb[/b] until you have cleared the approaching traffic and know the intentions of those drivers behind the truck or the lane is empty. This will prevent you from being pinned to your bumper by the text-reading driver. When your lane is clear, proceed into the lane. You then clear the traffic in the other lane. You will not have a blind spot of the oncoming traffic like you would if you crossed in front of the truck. [/QUOTE]
