Consignee delay?

Consignee delay?
I would rather not use some ones driveway and will continue to follow UPS`s policy about this. I would be pretty pissed off if a 16,000 pound truck used my driveway to turn around. If you use a driveway, you are forced to go in reverse whic is another No-No. Go around the block like they tell you in all the pcm`s.
Is that just like Emergency Condition ?
The “Emergency Conditions” exception would be used (here) for an icy/impassable/flooded etc street. All “Emergency Conditions” or “Consignee Delay” packages go to the ECS clerk when you return to building.
For exceptions, are any of you guys allowed to use “Other Other”? We’re not, Other Other will get you a warning letter in our division.

Other-other is not allowed in my building either.
My question is why is it in the menu then?
Couldn't one of the many "updates" eliminate this option?
Company policy is to treat the symptoms rather than fix the problems.

i was thinking about this topic the other day; as i was puttering around in the country. there are many rural routes that are an honest 9.5hr day but if you did not enter into any private driveways they would literally take 15hours plus. some of these have 10+miles worth of driving on private driveways, im not sure what a mile takes to walk at a "brisk pace" i would guess around 20minutes (carrying pkgs/scan work path etc.) 20minutes X 10miles= 200minutes ~3.4 hrs!
as far as city drivers entering 100ft driveways; i agree its stupid!
suppose you have a delivery with a long driveway along with vicious dogs on the property...sometimes the dogs are out..other times not..am I supposed to start the walk, get 100+ yards from safety (my pkg. car) and risk getting my ass chewed by the Rotts, Sheps, Dobies, or Pitt Bulls on patrol........or just sheet as EC (emergency condition) even if the dogs aren't on patrol.........UPS is setting us up to fail either wayThat’s the exception we’re told to use for dogs, blocked access, or in this case a long unfamiliar driveway. The driveway situation would involve a reasonable concern with access or the walk. For this moment in time our management team gives us a great deal of freedom if we see a possible safety/accident issue.
Note: I’ll walk off a stop in a heartbeat. I’ve been known to deliver an entire apartment complex from one parking spot. Well, 2 spots, park defensively.

What do you do on a dead end side street?
Drivers side back down the block with the hazards on and beeping the horn as instructed.
