[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1053908, member: 14668"] I would be having a discussion with the homeowner about the need for him to prune that tree. You having to walk off a 200 yard driveway on a snowy night with bears and other critters around should [I]not[/I] be a realistic expectation for the homeowner to have. I have a few driveways like that on my route (minus the bears and deep snow of course) and whenever the foliage gets too thick I politely ask the homeowner to cut it back. I dont mind scratching the paint or having to fold the mirrors in, but when it gets to the point of breaking the windshield wipers or marker lights, or cracking mirrors even [I]after[/I] I have folded them in then its time for the homeowner to take care of the problem if he wants us to keep delivering to him. Another good way to "motivate" customers to deal with issues involving vehicle clearance or lack of anyplace on the property to turn around is to point out that if a UPS package car cant get in or out then neither can an ambulance if they ever had to call 911 for a medical emergency. I have had more than a few raised eyebrows when I brought that up, which were usually followed within a short time by the problem being taken care of. [/QUOTE]
