[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1255688, member: 13921"] Our center wants to know about driveways that are a guaranteed stuck. In the cases that I am aware of, they have talked the homeowners into either putting a box at the end of their driveways for delivery or arranged to have all deliveries AC'd to a work address during the winter. Sometimes, it is on the route holder to talk to the addressee about it, most of the time though, a manager gets involved, especially if they are reluctant to put a box or tub at the end of their driveway. All you have to do is ask how much total cost is a stuck car. It is significant. There is the tow, the phone time for everyone involved, inspection (any car that is towed, has to be inspected by mechanics) and more. When you look at the margins on a package, unless a person is getting 100's of NDA every day, there is no profit in getting stuck. [/QUOTE]
