[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 570236, member: 484"] Dil The mirror thing is when you parallel park to make deliveries. That keeps the mirror from being hit while you are out of the car. Mostly applies to larger cities with narrow streets, but is included in most safety instructions for new drivers. In my years, never had much need for pullin in mirrors. As for two wheelers, I had several removed by other drivers, so when I got a new one, I left it at my first stop of the day, the pharmacy right off the interstate, and it was also one of my last pickup stops. That took care of it being stolen at the building, or replaced by a broken one. As for when to use it? Early in the career, it was almost never. After all, 50 pounds was the heaviest package we could take, and most packages were much smaller then as well. But as I aged, and the packages got heavier and larger, I used it many more times. OF course it is all dependent on distance from the car, weight and number or packages, and if the back was hurting or not. I also must mention that earlier in the day I used it less, but after lunch I seemed to need it more. On a side note, it is interesting how a driver like myself can use a new two wheeler for 5+ years without it getting damaged or looking like crap, but yet some of the company favorites can damage a brand new one in a day by mistreatment or loading it wrong. And they are the first in line to steal yours. d [/QUOTE]
