My job is fun
Don’t deliver it. Put dog in remarks. I see a loose dog in the car even if it’s small I don’t risk it. Not my job to get bit
The reason I ask is bc I come across some aggressive dogs and the owner is not home or has no control over their dog. This is rare but it does happen. I follow my methods yelling ups, beep horn but the dogs don’t always run out until I get away from my vehicle.batons are legal in my state and I would conceal it on my belt. I know ups does not allow weapons but it’s no different than a multi tool or a pocket knife which is my next step. So overall can I carry a baton concealed if legal in my state? I honestly don’t want to be a fatality and a 14 year old just got mauled by 4 dogs in my state
Let me elaborate. I cover tons of different routes and I do memorize the houses with dogs and leave letters when I DR the package. Ive used the Dias on a dog before and it worked. Now I’m not trying to over think things but what happens when you approach certain breeds and the dogs just come charging at you even if you are facing them and holding the Dias out and if it’s more than 1 dog. I’ve been caught off surprise and honestly after just recently having drivers in my state get severely bitten and people littered getting killed which is few and rare really makes me feel unsafe. I will always continue using the methods and won’t get out with dogs present and my bosses are awesome about this but I’m referring to those surprise visits that catch me off guard bc they do happen. Will I get terminated if caught with s batons or using it to keep a dog back and NOT hitting them unless bitten?

Who cares?Here's a pro tip: If you see a dog in the yard, don't throw the package over the fence and DR it.
I made that mistake this last peak season, and the dog ran over to the small package and began to shred it to pieces. I'm pretty sure the owner was p o'd when he got back from work that night......
Who cares?
You delivered it, the dog chewed it up.
Might have them rethink havimg a dog running loose in the yard.
Especially if it is a bag of dog food.I love delivering the package and watching the dog come up and take off with it in their mouth, that to me is funny as hell to watch as I drive away laughing.
I used to think that was a dick move, but the more I deal with bad dogs and irresponsible dog owners I see that it a great action to take. If I get bit by a dog I am suing the pants of the home owner to teach them a lesson!Just sue the home owner when the dog bites you. You’ll only need 1.5 mil to retire.
Yea a rock will do a lot for a pit bull that wants ya assWhy are people afraid of dogs? Just pick up a rock, dogs naturally know what that means for them when dealing with a person.
