I have yet to hear of service provider get shot..in 25 years of making deliveries in the dark...
nice job with all the cheap shots about management...
Yeah well, I got damn close once. And it's not a funny story.
Peak of 85. About a week before Christmas. It's about 9:30 at night. Rural delivery. House about quarter mile

I have never stopped screaming UPS,UPS,UPS. I see him glance to his right and he sees the car running with it's lights.
