[QUOTE="soberups, post: 841307, member: 14668"] One safety issue the company seems to overlook in its quest to keep us out of driveways involves walking up long driveways in the dark. My general rule is that if I cant[I] see[/I] the house from the road, Im [I]not[/I] going to walk it off in the dark. If I cant see the house, then [I]the customer cant see the truck[/I]. That means that, to them, I am just some strange person walking up their driveway at night. In rural areas, that is a really good way to get attacked by a dog or [B]shot [/B]by a nervous homeowner. I virtually never enter a driveway in an urban residential area, and I 100% agree with the idea of walking those stops off and driving around the block to get turned around. But when you get outside of city limits, where there arent any streetlights or sidewalks and the "driveways" are measured in 1/4 mile increments instead of feet, the rules for a safe delivery change.
