Ya but remember back in the day there was no such thing as an emergency condition

UTL?

 

[john chesney]

Try delivering on a college campus.

No thanks. I was in Pittsburgh on streets with cars parked on both sides of the side streets and I still can’t figure out how you would deliver there

 

[john chesney]

UTL?

What’s a utl 35 years don’t ring a bell to me

You would then write “need alternate address” in the service cross.

I tapped the horn—-he blew me off.

I tapped it again—-same result.

Pulled up right behind him and layed on the horn—-he got the message.

Job well done

Ok ours are cnl.Isnt that a little dishonest?

 

[john chesney]

Double park.

I honestly don’t know because if you did the streets are tight and traffic would be blocked probably both directions

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Very much so.

I never used it in that scenario. I would either walk it off or secure it to or near the mailbox.

Bingo!

 

[john chesney]

Bingo!

If that’s the case and it very well might be I bet we’re hated in Pittsburgh

“If in doubt, stay out.”

If that were the case, I would never have to leave the building.

One of our downtown drivers has one street where he has no choice but to park in the middle and block the road. He works as quickly as possible to minimize the delays.

The nice thing about leaving things now is so many companies delivering they don’t know who left what where

I “politely” told a kid riding his skateboard to get out of the road yesterday.

That is "polite"?
Take an alternate route. This is a hazardous situation.
We had a driver do that to a couple of kids years ago. When he finally got past them they slammed his truck with a large rock.
Pick your battles wisely.
