[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 920332, member: 17867"] I was once running a rural 4x4 route and noticed one of our oncar sups following me. I really did not change anything I was doing but it was fun to have stops where after the stop I had to turn around and come toward him and see him try to get out of sight LOL. Anyway when he has finally observed enough he pulls up to me at a stop and goes over my performance. The one thing he really was on me about was a driveway he saw me pull out of. He said he could see why I had backed into it becuase there was no shoulder and it was a narrow road. But he said he should have still been able to see the nose of the package car from where he was parked so I had backed up further then necessary. If he had only known! So I told him.. He could not see the nose of the PC because I had not backed in. This particular driveway is a quarter mile long with three switchbacks up the side of a mountain. I drove up to the house; it is the only practical way to deliver the stop. Not only do you have to enter the driveway, the way its designed you really have to drive up and park nose in at the house, deliver, then back down the top leg of the driveway about 100 feet to a spot at the top switchback that has been made and plowed to back into to turnaround. Sometimes blindly following the methods is not the safest way to operate; you have to use judgement in the real world. I certainly would not leave the PC on the road at this stop; I would be blocking the road for several minutes were I silly enough to hike that drive. The sup said you were getting a warning letter; have you actually gotten it yet? I have been told of warning letters to come twice but they never happened; I suspect they were simply angry idle threats. [/QUOTE]
