To answer the OP’s question, like someone else said earlier, you might have a runner doing your route. I try to drop people’s crap at their requested delivery location, but there’s certain times where I just say **** it.
I’m not gonna open the gate to your backyard to DR- Side Door while your German Shepard is barking his ass off and trying to hop over the fence.
Just yesterday I delivered to a yuuuuge mansion on top of a hill... No gate code in the DIAD so I can’t take my truck up there. 110lb Arc Welder, they requested DR-Front Door. You think i’m gonna roll that **** 150 feet uphill? I dropped it at the mailbox and got the **** out of there.
