You're excused. See, the problem is is that some of us work in what's called a [HOOD]. Translation, the ghetto. Leaving yourself an out sounds like a wonderful idea doesn't it? Then out of nowhere some hood-rat backs right onto your bumper within an inch, and that cool little concept they teach us disintegrates. I have to back first almost 10+ times a day because of this. I leave a cushion in front every time I park, but the person in front will pull away and then it's the next jerk-off that backs onto my bumper. I should literally re-write the Five Seeing Habits to reflect my area. All Good Kids Like Methadone. Aim high when returning fire. Get the hell out of there as fast as possible. Keep your head down when you hear gunfire. Leave the hood before sundown. Make sure you have 911 on speed dial.

There really isnt anywhere on my rural area where they could spy on me without me seeing them. They can park by a gravel road or hide on the bushes and watch me drive past, but any car that follows me for long enough to watch me deliver stops is going to stick out like a cockroach on a wedding cake.

10-15 BFE's? We are allowed on average 3 per day and are supposed to call if we are going to have more than that.

Its hilarious how your center has you constantly communicating with them about everything. Our target is one per day. On most routes I can get away without an exception most days. Some industrial routes that require backing to neighboring docks require it.

Are you serious? Who do you call and what do you say?
For instance, would you call your sup and say "Hey boss I need back my truck up after I completed this stop, I know I screwed up but what's done is done, so should I back first or should I just wait until the car in front of me moves?"
or
Do you get out the truck and push it back until you can start it by just going forward?
Please acknowledge the fact that you are being treated like little micro managed children.
PLEASE!

its almost impossible not to have bfe. I average about 3-4 a day. I deliver all packages out my right side door. I may do one or two tiny letters out the drivers door. There is no way I will turn around before I can have a free path to a house. Than to try to hold a box as I'm climbing over the seat and lifting it over the steering wheel. Plus grabbing my hand rail.

Steering wheel doubles as a handrail, FYI.
Getting in not on the way out. Holding a box. I had mechanic install extra hand rails on both doors. I carry most with my left hand

Yes. Had one put on the right side of the passenger side. Also use the bulk head chain as a hand rail occasionally. Born with orangatang arms

I guess back first exceptions aren't a priority in my hub because I'm not even sure what it is.

Do you actually say "welp" like an insufferable prick?

That is not a back first exception.

This is not true.

I did say "almost ". Intown or city drivers are the only ones. Out where I deliver. A mile in till I know if the is a turn around.
If you turn the truck off, get out, start the truck and finish the back. It is.
