Late night deliveries

[Harry Manback]

They must think you are like Rambo.

They're not allowed to think. IE handles that.

No but I've seen 120+lb Rottweilers with their voice box cut out and hooked on the end of a log chain....hiding by the house...waiting.

That is when you throw the box at the dog to chew up.

Or a Grenade

Back then the diad board was a weapon.

Today it's a snack for a Rottweiler.

Don't get shot
In the dark
Ever

New telematics categories: Shot while parked; knock and run first exception.

Your profile says you are from So Cal. Have you ever done a rural route?

Ever had a gun pulled on you by a scared woman who is alone at home with her kids at 10:00 at night?

Ever been 100 yards from the package car, hiking a stop up to a house, and come face to face with a 90Lb German Shepherd that wanted to chew your nuts off for walking up its driveway on a pitch black night?

Its easy to criticize others when your entire route is paved and there is a street light on every corner.

I work in Los Angeles. There's no need to explain your dangerous environment. We have Rottweilers, ese's, bloods and crips. Get your job done and quit whining about the dark.

We get our jobs done without "whining" in spite of a lack of common sense dispatch from those that never walk the streets we do late at night.

Being a tough guy doesn't make me a smart guy to think that the law of averages won't catch up someday. Especially in crime ridden areas. Ask that postal worker's family, or that girl's next of kin or those two families of the NYPD officers gunned down just for fun.

We're not "wussies" but we sure as heck would not care to be labeled fools either. Amazon and QVC deliveries late at night in bad areas aren't worth the risk.

Times are changing...for the worse.

Ive been getting my job done in the dark for over 27 years, thank you very much. I'm not whining about it. I'm merely pointing out that there comes a point at night where it is no longer safe or professional to be out knocking on doors and making deliveries.

Ask for an OJS from one of your Managment Team, especially in the bad areas.
Let them see what it is like at night!
(and, if you are in a REAL high crime area, be sure the OJS person has some clean underwear!)

Imagine getting shot dying and they say you're at fault.

I got robbed and got a letter for unsecured vehicle. it was daylight.

And again, we could go on and on about the safety issues for the driver. My original post wasn't even about that. It was about showing our customers some consideration.

I would have grieved that.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I would have grieved that.

I would have told them,what to do what that letter. Then I would send a copy of It,to local news media.

 

[upschuck]

I would have grieved that.

I can mourn now for it, if you want me.

 

[Mike hunt]

I'll pass. It wasn't me that got robbed.

 

[toonertoo]

I grieved over it for like a month, and I have mourned it for 1.5 yrs. Im over it. It was pretty silly actually. I was not with my truck, Thank God, I was on the sidewalk, waiting for the elderly man to get me a dolly, its old news. It was over 100 pds, an exercise machine, in the shape most of them arrive. Falling apart I left it on the bumper while the old gent got his dolly. First day back from vaca, my truck got wrecked I had a beater, and no dolly. 4 guys pulled up, when I went toward my truck from 10 ft away, they just kept on doing what they were gonna do. We watched from arm length distance in shock, me and the old guy. Took the cops an hour, arsons took precedent, and I finished my route, at 930pm.

If you were standing there, it wasn't an unsecured truck. But nothing is surprising anymore. Glad you were not harmed otherwise.

Jesus.
And I thought I had it bad walking up on bears.

Walk it off.

Yea I agree delivering that late is not right. I don't want a knock on my door that late. I'd be answering my door armed!!
