[QUOTE="Packmule, post: 949713, member: 33558"] In our building, hitting a dog in the street has never been considered an avoidable accident. Dogs don't belong in the street. In a driveway, it gets real gray real fast. In my view, it should depend on whether or not I have access to a public turn around, like a coldesac, cross street, etc. When I have no choice but to use a private drive to reach the house, or turn around, using the driveway I'm delivering to gives me a ligitimate reason for being there. I support the homeowner's right to have dogs running around in his driveway, but he has no right to expect me to endanger a neighbor's dogs, property, children, because of it. And UPS has no right to expect me to do so either. Either they issue a nationwide decree that we no longer deliver to ANY residential that does not provide us the ability to stay of public roads, or they stand behind us when bad things happen on private roads. Sounds like yet another piece of contract language we need to go to the mat on next contract over. But that would require a union that proactively fixes problems, instead of reactively hanging us out to dry. [/QUOTE]
