[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1021598, member: 12570"] We are strongly encouraged to park legally whenever possible; however, it is not always possible to do so. We are not taught to double park or to block bicycle lanes, fire lanes or fire hydrants. Having said that, we have a job to do and we do end up double parking, blocking bicycle lanes and parking in fire lanes. I am not saying this to try to justify this type of behavior---it happens. It's not as though we are parked there for an extended period of time. UPS, as well as most major delivery companies, pays a set fee each year in lieu of paying individual parking tickets in major cities. I have been told that we pay $2M per year in NYC alone. This saves both the company and the city time and money. I am not trying to minimize your concern as it is a valid one. All I am saying is that this is a battle not worth fighting. Dave. [/QUOTE]
