[QUOTE="moldsporh, post: 2052897, member: 54834"] I've never believed in sounding the horn at each stop....and I don't do it. May sound good as an idea, but it's not practical. Mailman doesn't sound the horn and the homeowner knows to get their mail everyday. FedEx doesn't sound their horn and customers get the stuff. UPS can deliver and just like everyone else, customer receiving updates about tracking, know their pkg is arriving that day I like to keep the dogs quiet, that way I can get back to the truck before they are trying to get to me...I'm sure the homeowners prefer to have us just knock or ring a bell, if they have sleeping babies, generally there's a note on the doorbell or the door. It's not rocket science, stop truck, take package to door, knock and/or ring, walk back to truck. The whole freaking neighborhood doesn't need some circus truck wailing on the horn all the way down the freaking street HEY EVERYONE.....IT'S ME....I'M COMING DOWN THE ROAD AND GONNA BLOW THE HORN FOR THE NEXT 5 MIN DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING PEOPLE! You want to know what is a little more safer than blowing the horn? A backup beeper that as designed....faces the rear and always turns on, no driver error....it always works...instead of a forward facing horn for backing up about 20 feet from the rear of the vehicle. Should be like this in feeders also, the trailers are practically silent when rolling backwards....we already had one person killed not too long ago on a dock from a feeder trailer because he didn't hear the trailer....had nowhere to go, they found him the next morning. A $5 beeper would have saved his life. [/QUOTE]
