[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1290830, member: 14668"] I have driveways on my route that are in the middle of a blind turn. To back into them you would have to swing into the oncoming lane and risk getting hit head on. There is no shoulder to park on, so I have no choice but to drive up them to the house and then get turned around by any means necessary. If that means breaking mirrors on tree limbs, knocking over piles of firewood or backing up onto their lawn or thru their shrubbery in order to turn around then so be it. I have to get off the road, period. I have several such stops on my route where I can barely-and I mean barely-get in and out in a conventional P700, if I tried it in a P12 or a P10 or even a long skinny single axle P7 I would be screwed. It sounds like the OP is dealing with the same type of situation; the company has made a business decision to intentionally set him up to fail and they are intentionally giving him equipment that is unsafe and unsuitable for the route so that they can cut out a route and look good on a report.
