[QUOTE="soberups, post: 777289, member: 14668"] Have you ever delivered in a heavily congested, downtown urban area? [B]The day-to-day reality of providing delivery service to such areas[/B] is that we often have [B]no choice[/B] but to double-park, park illegally, or park in less-than-optimum locations. Its not a question of "speed" or "convenience". Its a question of whether or not you can get any work done at all. Its pretty easy for a management person to make blanket statements such as "stay out of driveways" or "dont park illegally" from within the confines of a cubicle. But when the time comes to back those statements up with [I]action...[/I]such as dispatching the routes in a manner that would actually allow the driver enough [I]time[/I] to walk several blocks to each stop from a legal parking spot....all that tough talk about safety seems to go right out the window.
